Recipe FAQ's
There are several keto-friendly alternatives you can use to bind homemade granola. Here are a few examples:
Egg Whites: Whisked egg whites can help bind the ingredients together. Add them to the wet mixture before combining with the dry ingredients.
Nut Butter: Include a few tablespoons of almond butter or peanut butter in the wet mixture. This not only adds flavor but helps with binding.
Psyllium Husk: A small amount of psyllium husk powder can provide a binding effect. Be cautious not to use too much, as it can become gummy.
Gelatin or Collagen Powder: These can add a subtle binding effect without altering the flavor significantly. Dissolve them in the wet ingredients before mixing.
Chia Seeds and Flaxseeds: These absorb liquid and become gel-like, helping to bind the granola together.
Foods that are high in refined carbohydrates and sugars may contribute to weight gain and fat accumulation. These include white bread, sugary cereals, pastries, and sweets. Opt for whole grains instead, such as brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread.
Certainly! Greek yogurt can be included in a keto diet, but it's important to choose the right type and consume it in moderation. Here are some considerations: Choose Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: Opt for full-fat Greek yogurt rather than low-fat or fat-free varieties. The fat content helps to keep you satiated and fits well within the macronutrient ratios of a keto diet.
Watch for Added Sugars: Some flavored Greek yogurts may contain added sugars, which can contribute to carb intake. Read the nutrition label and choose plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to minimize sugar content.
Check Carbohydrate Content: While Greek yogurt is relatively low in carbs compared to regular yogurt, it still contains some carbohydrates. Be mindful of your overall carbohydrate intake to stay within the limits of your keto goals.
Portion Control: It's easy to overeat even low-carb foods. Be mindful of portion sizes to ensure you're not consuming too many carbs inadvertently.
