If you’ve ever had reservations about having chocolate for breakfast, I strongly urge you to put them aside and try this keto granola. This grain-free and sugar-free granola is flavoured with cacao which is mineral reach and a great natural energy boost, perfect for the mornings.
This stuff is incredibly moreish. While I love it at breakfast time, I also love to eat a small handful of clusters for a quick pick-me-up during the day.
If eating at breakfast, I personally find dairy yoghurt to be a bit too tart with the chocolate flavour of this low-carb granola, so I like to instead have it with coconut yoghurt or unsweetened almond milk.
Step-by-step
Preheat the oven to 150 °C/ 300 °F (conventional), or 130 °C/ 265 °F (fan assisted). Mix the cacao and hot water and stir until a thick paste forms.
Mix in the nut butter, then the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Add in the salt and stir until combined.
Add the nuts, seeds, coconut flakes and almond meal to a large bowl, and stir to combine.
Pour over the chocolate mixture, and stir to coat evenly. Spread over a lined baking tray and bake until the granola feels firm to touch, around 40-50 minutes.
Let cool completely on the tray before breaking it up — this will result in granola “chunks”. Store in a sealed container up to three weeks.
Eat on its own as a snack or serve with yogurt, coconut yogurt or unsweetened almond or cashew milk. Store at room temperature for up to a month or freeze for up to 6 months.

Hi, this looks amazing, but I don't like coconut can I use something else instead of the shredded coconut and flaked coconut?
Thank you Dana! You can use any chopped nuts or seeds instead.
Martina,
I think I’ve realised what’s wrong. I have the app on my phone (which I’m using). I was looking at the nutritional info in the Actual App blog, which appears to be incorrect. When I go into ketodietapp via safari, all the info matches with what’s uploading.
Hi Emma, can you please clarify where you see the incorrect info? I may be missing something but I can't see it wrong anywhere. Are you using our app? I just want to make sure someone else in not copying our recipes in another app and using wrong nutrition facts. If you can please send us an email with a screenshot at martina[at]ketodietapp[dot]com
Thank you!
Hi
I am trying to input the Keto chocolate granola clusters. On the recipe the net carbs is 0.5 and when I select it to add to my planner, all the nutritional values are coming up different to that in the recipe.
Hi Emma, just to clarify, are you looking at the Chocolate Granola Clusters? The carb count listed on the blog and in the app is 5.6 grams per serving. I tested adding this meal to the planner too and it shows the correct numbers. Is there anything I may be missing?
Hi Martina,
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I was inputting the correct item. When I upload to planner. It’s showing as 5.6g.
I think the nutritional information in the actual blog post itself (by Dearna Bond) maybe wrong or am I going mad? Im fairly new to keto, so it could be me 🤣
I'm looking at the actual blog post (through the app and here on the website) and the net carbs in the table are listed as 5.6 grams so I assume that is correct? 😊
Is this baked in a 9x13 pan? It looks smaller in the photo.
This was a deep tray, about 9x11 but you can use a larger tray 😊
Thanks -- it looks delicious and I'll definitely make it soon!
This looks yummy. Will be giving this a go. But 1/3 cup serving size is pretty small. The photo suggests that the serving size is much bigger than it actually is and adding ingredients to make it more filling will of course bump up the carb count etc...
I made this yesterday and wanted to say it is reeeally good! You'd be surprised but it is very filling! There's yogurt in that bowl too and looking at my bowl it looks about the same. Plus I added some raspberries. Yum!
Hi there,
I guess there must be something wrong or do you really want me to add 60 ml sea salt ?
That was such a funny typo! It is indeed 1/4 tsp (you can ignore the 60 ml).
