Is granola low carb?

Typically granola is made with oats, which are relatively high in carbohydrates. For a low-carb granola, look for keto-friendly or grain-free varieties.

Are oats keto friendly?

No, a serving of old-fashioned or rolled oats contains about 27 grams of carbohydrates, making them unsuitable for a keto diet. Keto diets require a very limited number of carbs. Oats are gluten free, not grain free.

Storage

Store granola in airtight container for 3-4 weeks at room temperature. You can also freeze for up to 6 months!
