Double Chocolate Low Carb Granola

Coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips. Its almost like a German Chocolate Granola!


I have discussed with you before the difficulties I have with breakfast. I’m not a big eater in the morning, and more often than not I can’t think of anything that sounds good. (If you need some breakfast ideas, check out these Easy Breakfast Ideas for Trim Healthy Mamas). Usually, I fall back on a variation of this Yogurt Power Bowl. I have been using blueberries (less than 1/2 cup) to make the sauce, then I simply top it off with this granola. It is delicious, and easy!


My first introduction to low carb granola was from one of my blogging buddies (check out her granola recipe here). I recently purchased some organic pecan pieces, and I knew I wanted to use them in a granola recipe!


It is super easy to make, and I love to have this Low Carb Granola on hand for topping yogurt in the morning or ice cream for dessert. I even took some with me this week when we went away for the weekend!

I know you will love this recipe just as much as I do!

    I struggle with breakfast, too. I used to eat a piece of quiche every morning – like for 3 years. Then, nothing sounded good for breakfast. I love your idea of yogurt and blueberry sauce topped off with this yummy crunchy granola. Thanks!

    I’ve been making a peanut butter granola, which is great. But with all things, it’s a good idea to mix things up a bit. Double chocolate low carb granola, here I come!

    Sometimes I like to eat cold cereal for dessert. This would totally hit the spot!

      I’m sorry, I don’t usually measure. I would say you could easily have 1/2 to 1 cup as a serving.

    I loved the original version from my table of three, but wanted the chocolate taste and then like fate here is your recipe! Delish. I love how this doesn’t take forever like regular granola 🙂

    I have this in the oven and am looking forward to making your power bowl with it this week! I have a question about the coconut though. I used unsweetened coconut flakes with are 7 carbs per serving (no dietary fiber or sugar). I am trying to figure out how this is an S with a cup serving? Did I buy the wrong kind? How much do you add to your power bowl to keep it an S?

    Thanks in advance!

      I use a few Tablespoons at a time. It is mixed with the other ingredients, so you are not just eating 3 Tablespoons of coconut flakes. 🙂

        Thank you for responding. It is super yummy and tastes just Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey on the 000 Banana Yogurt!

      Hi Allison! I’m sorry, but I do not have the macros for this recipe, as I do not count macros when following THM. I would recommend using an online nutritional calculator to look it up.

    This sounds great! I was wondering how much difference it would make to process the coconut some. I’m not crazy about the texture of coconut flakes or shreds, but I like the flavor and nutritional value. I thought perhaps making it more like a meal consistency would make that much to the mixture. Maybe, add some kind of seeds to make up the bulk reduction? What do you or your readers think?

    LOVED IT!!!!! I had roasted pumpkin seeds in the pantry so used those instead of pecans. Chopped up Lily’s sugar-free choco bar for chunks v chips. Seriously easy and REALLY GOOD. I dare not make much, portion control is HARD! Thanks! Dunno how to post pic here but did on my pin. YUM!

    I love this granola and make it almost every week. Imagine my surprise when I found out how to make it even BETTER! Just did a batch where I chopped up half a bar of Lily’s ‘Caramelized and Salted’ chocolate bar for the additional ‘chips’. That caramel flavor takes it from great to SUPAHDUPAHAWESOME! #nomnomnom

    How long do think this keeps? I am going on vacatin in 2 weeks and wondered if I could make it now and store in an airtight container or just wait until closer to leaving. It looks soooo good!
