This low carb crunchy granola recipe is best served with coconut yogurt and fresh or frozen fruit such as blueberries and raspberries. I also love to top this paleo-friendly granola on smoothie bowls for a delicious crunch.
If you haven’t thought or heard of putting pure curcumin powder into granola you might be wondering what that tastes like? Well, pure curcumin powder which is the extract out of turmeric root has a velvety texture and a smooth warming flavor that blends beautifully with cinnamon to spice up and naturally sweeten this paleo granola.
Curcumin is most often used for its anti-inflammatory properties and is better absorbed by the body when mixed with fats thus curcumin powder is a perfect addition to the high-fat content of nuts, seeds and coconut oil that is used to make this low carb granola recipe.
