United States, Recipe from Florida! This Low-Carb & Vegan Coconut Granola recipe is tasty and filling. One of the quickest things that I make for breakfast which is sugar-free.
I love this recipe because there is no brown sugar and no egg whites to make this great clusters of homemade granola recipe. It took a few tries to get it right but now I make it every 2 weeks because I love granola. I put it on top of my oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast to add that extra favor in the morning.
When we travel or go on a day trip, I always pack breakfast and lunch along with a few snacks. I hate road food and have gotten sick one time to many. So now I pack food to make the trip more enjoyable.
This a great recipe for road trips which I also pack extra if I’m leaving for more than a day. I have the perfect containers to take with me so there is no mess and gluten-free oats don’t get mushy.
With Jeff having diabetes, it’s hard to buy things that taste good without having corn syrup or brown sugar. Those to items spike his diabetes like crazy high so we try not to buy anything with these two ingredients. It makes a world of differences for him when he checks his glucose.
