Walnuts

Walnuts are an excellent source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, copper, and manganese. They add a rich, buttery flavor and support overall heart and brain health.

Unsweetened Flaked Coconut

Unsweetened coconut provides healthy fats, fiber, and a naturally sweet, nutty flavor while creating crisp, golden clusters throughout the granola.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil helps the granola bake into crisp clusters while adding richness and supporting a satisfying keto-friendly fat profile.
