This low-carb Cranberry Christmas Granola is the ultimate keto family breakfast for the festive season. We can all over indulge a little at Christmas but this makes a nice change if you’re looking for something lighter.
Delicately spiced with cinnamon, vanilla, orange zest and a hint of nutmeg, perfect to snuggle up on the sofa with and your favourite Christmas movie. You can make a big match and the base keeps for a good month in the cupboard. Once cranberries are out of season you can totally make and replace with any fresh low GI berry of choice.
These also make a super cute low-carb speedy pudding if you layer them in glasses with cream, coconut or Greek yoghurt.

Ingredients (makes 10 servings)
Dry ingredients:
Wet ingredients:
Baked cranberries:
- 3/4 cup fresh cranberries (75 g/ 2.6 oz)
- 2 tbsp Erythritol or Swerve (20 g/ 0.7 oz)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150 °C/ 300 °F (fan assisted), or 170 °C/ 340 °F (conventional). Chop the almonds and walnuts. Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Add the egg white, coconut oil and almond milk and mix to form a dough.
- Transfer to a greaseproof lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes until golden. Turn halfway for even cooking.
- Meanwhile, place the cranberries on another greaseproof lined baking tray, toss with erythritol (to taste) and lemon juice. Roast for 35-45 minutes until soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Top the cranberries on the granola and serve with your choice of nut or coconut milk, Greek or coconut yoghurt, cream or keto ice cream.
- Store in a glass jar in the cupboard for up to one month. I prefer to remove the cranberries and make them fresh if storing for over a week but the base can be stored for a good month. Store in a glass jar in the cupboard for up to 1 month.
