Keto ginger granola is a delicious mix of all the spices from gingerbread, baked until crispy. Its very simple, and tastes absolutely amazing combined with some Keto Yogurt, a few strawberries, and a fresh cup of coffee.
As you might have realised, this recipe is similar to my keto gingerbread mix. Thats because this recipe I found by accident, whilst recipe testing the gingerbread men. This recipe has more coconut flour in it, but actually worked really well as a crumble, which is fantastic!
I usually recipe test 2-3 times, depending on the complexity of a recipe (you know I’m mad at myself when I have 7 versions of the same recipe sitting at home). I’m glad this recipe could be repurposed into such an incredible breakfast cereal.
If you have access to pumpkin spice, this spice mix is very similar and could be a suitable substitute to the numerous spices added to this keto gingerbread granola. I’d suggest adding a little more ginger if pumpkin spice is your only option.
This granola is suitable to be stored up to 2 weeks in an airtight jar in a cool place. You must let the recipe cool completely before you put it into a container, as the excess heat will create moisture inside the container and will not only ruin your crunchy granola, but it will also shorten the lifespan of the granola simply by introducing a friendly environment to grow nasty bacteria.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, and if you love ginger recipes, then you’ve got to give my gingerbread recipe a try. Recently, my kitchen has been spitting out home runs, and this recipe I’m very proud of. You’ll be astounded at how good the gingerbread cookies come out, because I went back and made the real gingerbread from molasses etc to make sure the texture, taste and mouthfeel were correct. This keto recipe is pretty darn close!

Super simple and tasty. I had it sprinkled on top of some keto custard that I made. My two kids loved it too. The recipe made a nice big batch. I was worried it would be a bit too sweet for me, but the saltiness of the butter balanced out the sweetner.

Hi Aaron, what a delish recipe! I love it any time off the day or evening when I need just a little something sweet. I put a few spoons of organic coconut cream on top. My new favorite! Can you please clarify how much 1 serve is as the nutritional facts say 1g.
Thanks for all the yummies.

Thanks so much Lizzie! 🙂 Please divide the total weight of your recipe by 12, which will give you the exact serving size.

Hi Aaron. I am in the US and trying to convert the grams into US measurements. Wondering if you can help me out? I have made the granola twice and I am pretty sure the measurements MSU he off. Thanks!
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Vercilla,
I’ve just added all the imperial measurements to this recipe. Thanks!
Donna Brunsden says
Hi Aaron,
Is baking powder really needed in the Granola? Can you explain please?
Thanks in advance

Hey Donna – It’s just what I used, you can totally leave this out of yours.
Barbara Becker says
Hi Aaron,
I really enjoyed your Coconut bread recipe. I have an almond allergy so it was great to find it. Do you have any suggestions for almond flour substitutions. What do you think about grinding walnuts or pecans into a flour, will that work?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Barbara,
Yes, walnuts, pecans or sesame seeds will work well as a substitute 🙂
Rebecca says
Hi Aaron.
This recipe sounds delish. I want to try it. However, in the instructions you mention xanthan gum… but it’s not in the ingredients list.
Hopefully it’s not in… cos that would mean another trip to the store lol.
Cheers.
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Rebecca,
sorry, this is a mistake in the recipe. No need for xanthan gum in this recipe.
Theresa Ordell says
Thank you!!! I was sooo confused!
Heidi Allan says
I tried this recipe yesterday and it is delish! Perfect to satisfy my gingerbread cravings. Thank you for sharing it!
Sally McKelvy says
Hi Aaron.
In your recipe for Gingerbread Granola, it says to add the Surkin Gold, and the egg, etc…
I don’t find Surkin Gold in the list of ingredients.
Am I missing something?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hey Sally,
good pickup. Since this was testing my gingerbread cookies, I actually used erythritol in this version, and it works better in my opinion. Recipe has been updated 🙂
