Equipment

9x9 inch baking pan
Parchment paper
Large mixing bowl
Separate bowl for wet ingredients
Whisk
Spatula
Measuring cups and spoons
Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

1 cup raw pecans 109g
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 40g
¼ cup almond flour 24g
¼ cup flaxseed meal 30g
½ cup dried cranberries, sugar-free 60g
¼ cup pumpkin seeds 30g
¼ cup sunflower seeds 35g
½ cup unsalted butter, melted 114g
⅓ cup sugar-free syrup 80ml
1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pecans, shredded coconut, almond flour, flaxseed meal, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Mix well to distribute evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar-free syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is thoroughly coated and starts to stick together.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press down firmly and evenly, ensuring the mixture is compacted.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Once cool, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the granola slab out and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut into 12 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Notes

For a touch of sweetness, you may add a few drops of liquid stevia to the wet ingredients. To ensure the bars are completely keto-friendly, make sure to use sugar-free dried cranberries and syrup. If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake the bars for an additional 5 minutes.
