Keto Course
I have some very exciting news for those of you who want to learn how to do keto for weight loss and want some special support! We now have all new Keto Courses! It was filmed by a very professional film crew that came into our home. Craig and I spent copious amounts of time filming these videos and made sure to cover EVERYTHING you need to know to do keto properly.
Check out this sneak peak video of the courses!
With the popularity of keto, comes a lot of bad advice. “Eat 80% fat” …. “If you aren’t losing weight, add more fat” …. “Eat fat bombs” ….. “Do a Fat Fast to lose weight” … these are just some of the bad information we are hearing and reading on other keto sites which is why we want to give you the proper tools to be successful on your ketogenic journey.
It may not look like it now, but I lived the majority of my life afraid of my own shadow and very little confidence in myself. In this course Craig and I step forward to give you everything you need to know to make this a lifestyle for you and your family. We talk about the how our biology works and how keto can use it to make you happier, healthier, full of energy and mental clarity that is amazing.

“HEALTHIFIED” NUTELLA CEREAL
1/3 cup or Swerve
1 tsp stevia glycerite (omit if using Swerve)
1/4 cup hazelnut meal
1/3 cup crushed hazelnuts
1/4 cup egg white protein
1/4 cup hazelnut oil or coconut oil
2 TBS water (or 2 more TBS butter/oil for a “crunchier” cereal)
1 tsp pure hazelnut extract
1 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (170 degrees C). Combine 1/3 cup erythritol and stevia glycerite (or Swerve), hazelnut meal, nuts, whey, extract and cocoa in a small bowl. Mix in oil and water until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet with defined edges or the butter will leak off. Bake for 12-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and gently stir while still hot. Let cool in the cookie tin (it will crisp up A LOT). Break pieces apart and enjoy with unsweetened almond milk. Makes 3 servings.

Looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks!
Do you know what causes ocd or what supplement I can take to help? I suffer really bad with it. Also do you know what causes blackheads that wont go away no matter what and how to get rid of them? Ive tried extraction, cocnut oil, creams, scrubs and they just keep coming back, mainly on my nose area.
Yes, I have helped clients in this situation. You need to find what the triggers are. I would be happy to help. 🙂

Hi maria I have always suffered with keratosis pilaris and now my 2 year old son has it even worse than I do. Do you know what causes it and how I can treat it.
I would take (you and him) and good fish oil supplement:

For the vitamin D3 which is good for the skin. Also, put coconut oil (yes, same stuff you cook with) on as a lotion. Apply it a couple times a day to the affected areas. 🙂

Also how much should we take is 300 mg good?
I’ve heard a zinc deficiency can contribute to Keratosis Pilaris… Do you agree?
That can contribute, yes. You can add a zinc supplement too. 🙂
I give my boys about 1/2 a tablespoon of fish oil each night. 🙂
Is cod liver or krill or plain fish oil best?
I like a good Krill oil best. 🙂
Since antibiotics are so bad for the gut how should we go about treatment for an illness like my son who may have an ear infection? Is taking a probitotic with bacillus coagulans as the form ok?
If it is to the point that he has an infection and is in pain, using the antibiotics to get rid of it is best. Just supplement with a good bifido bacteria afterwards. Then focus on making sure it doesn’t happen again. Remove all gluten from his diet. Our Kai had chronic ear infections when he was in the Ethiopian orphanage and they gave him antibiotics about 6 or 8 times in 6 months he was there. Once we brought him home and got him on a healthy diet, he hasn’t had one ear infection in 2 years! 🙂
Would hemp powder work instead of hazelnut meal?
Yes, that should work. 🙂
Hi Maria. I made this for breakfast and it was delicious! I do have a question, though. I didn’t have hazlenut oil and didn’t want to wait for an Amazon order. I decided to use somr walnut oil instead. It tasted great, but I am wondering if there are any negative aspects of walnut oil that I am unfamiliar with. Thanks!
Nope, Walnut oil is a good option. 🙂
It is a rainy day here in the Boston area, so I decided to make this plus one of the variants that I thought up (coconut-pecan). They both came out great! Unbelievable. I am thinking I may drag myself out into the heavy rain to go get some more supplies so I can bake a couple more variants tonight (pecan pie–is 1/8 or so tsp blackstrap molasses too terrible?) and macaroon (I need to find the unflavored protein powder for that one).
Oh, for folks who buy the individual packages of the Jay Robb protein powder, the 30-gram packages contain a bit more than 1/4 c. Using a conversion calculator, that seemed to be LESS than 1/4 c. I did not use the whole package for either version. (Since this was my first time making the granola, I didn’t want to fiddle with that variant. (Maria, do you think that bit extra would make a huge difference?)
Anyway, a BIG thanks for a terrific recipe/template. And folks, even if you don’t want chocolate-hazelnut granola, it is easy to think up other versions. Do it!
Thank you! I don’t think that little bit less protein powder with affect it much. 🙂
This is delicious, my daughter really liked it. However, I made it with as an Almond Cereal, instead of Hazelnut. Next time I will have to double the recipe. The only thing is I wind up more with little crumbs…think smaller than grape nuts..almost powdery….than what I expected. Also, it’s not getting that crispy for me. I left it out overnight…and I excluded water all together. Any thoughts?
Hmm, not sure. What brand protein powder are you using?
I’m using Swanson Premium Whey Protein Powder. You think that could be it? It comes out delicious, just not that crumby or crunchy. I’ll have to try a packet of the Jay Robb and see how it turns out. My girl is really liking the cereal…and I want to start making a larger quantity. Like a cereal box full. 🙂
Could be. Let me know if you try it. I only use Jay Rob. 🙂
How can I use my unflavored protein powder for this?
Just add a little sweetener to taste. 🙂
Hi Maria, I’ve been browsing your website for hours because it is so fantastic! I started eating keto a month ago to combat my bulimia (starvation-type) via making food cravings and binges a non-factor in my life. It has been working great, but I was getting bored of chicken and brie for every meal. Your website and e-books are exactly what I needed, I can eat ‘real’ and fancy food without gorging on wheat and sugar! Thank you for sharing!!
Thought I’d comment on this recipe in particular because I’m eating a bowl of it right now – the first time I’ve had ‘cereal’ in 4 years since I ditched the traditional stuff a long time ago. 🙂
Awesome! Thanks!
Any brand without msg listed as ingredient. http://astore.amazon.com/marisnutran05-20/detail/B00FWW3UAS
recipe tastes great, though i havent stuck it in the oven yet, just eating it raw… hopefully some will last until it is baked.
Its delicious, however I only added 1/2 tsp of stevia (liquid) to the erythritol and it was still very bitter and overly sweet, think I will omit it next time.
curious if it was liquid or powdered stevia you used?
I used liquid.
Regarding my post above- I just got the cereal out of the oven and the bitterness has gone almost completely! perhaps it was from the raw hazelnuts and not from the stevia at all. So happy with it now! cant wait so serve it to my daughter for breakfast.
Awesome!
Things are less sweet after baking 😉
Crushed Hazelnuts? Do I just grind them up in a food processor? And I’m assuming I can switch them out for almonds. This looks delicious!
Yep!
One more question: Do I spray the cookie sheet with non-stick spray?
You can but don’t have to.
I used parchment paper.
This tuned out absolutely delicious!! Used almond extract instead of hazelnut but otherwise I followed it exactly. Used butter instead of water. Required about 18 mins to cook.
Awesome!
