This granola has more than just pistachios; it is chock full o’nuts! The pistachios give it a tell-tale greenish color to it. You can keep it Keto by making the recipe as is, or you can customize it by adding dried fruit or other ingredients your family likes. It is so versatile; you can eat it plain, pour milk over it, serve it with yogurt or sprinkle it over ice cream. It is a treat you will want to repeat!
Ingredients
3/4 cup shelled pistachios

1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1/2 cup shelled pecans
1/8 cup chia seeds

1/2 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup Swerve brown sugar

1/4 tsp. maple extract (optional)
Instructions
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir the pistachios, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, chia seeds and coconut in a bowl or other container. You can use any nuts in this recipe to make it your own.
Combine coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, vanilla, nutmeg, Swerve brown sugar, cardamom, salt and cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat on low until melted. Stir in the maple extract if you want a more intense maple flavor. Pour the liquid mixture over the nuts and stir to coat.
Spread the nut mixture on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes, stirring and flipping the nuts every 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and break apart. Store in an air-tight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator.
