2 teaspoons vanilla powder (sugar and alcohol-free)
3 packets of Splenda (or other sugar alternative)
In a large roasting pan, mix together flax seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut and nuts. Drizzle with melted butter. Stir in cinnamon, vanilla power and sugar substitute. Toast in the oven at 325 degees for a half hour, stiring every 5 or 10 minutes.
You aren't figuring it out right, you should figure out net carbs and you minus fiber and protein (which is very high) off the carb count so its even better for you.

I love this. It's great to have "cereal" in the morning when I can't deal with cooking eggs, etc. I have just about 1/2 cup of this with a little kefir milk and it holds me until lunchtime.
In making this I substituted pecans for the walnuts (not a fan of walnuts) and didn't have chopped almonds on hand so used pine nuts. It was fabulous. Warning though: this does make a very big batch, so unless you have others who will want to help you eat it you might just want to make half. I made an entire batch and was eating it almost every day for several weeks.

I spent lots of time figuring this out, so I thought Id share it with whoever is reading this and might like to know the nutrition info. I got all my calories and carb counts from thedailyplate.com
Ok so did the math and for ONE CUP of this granola its a whopping 937 calories but only 9.5 carbs.
For 3/4 CUP of thie granola it is 702 CAloroes and 7.1 Carbs. For 1/2 Cup it is 468 Calories and 4.7 Carbs.
