Simple Granola
One of my all time favorite breakfast (or even a snack) is yogurt with granola. I make my own yogurt in the instant pot with either light cream or Fairlife Whole Milk (since it is low carb). I used to be able to find another brand that was lower carb too but I don’t believe they carry it in my area- Maple Hill Farms had a low carb filtered milk like Fairlife. Anyways, because the milk is already filtered I just pour it into the instantpot and then select the yogurt setting and change it to 18 hours. I add in yogurt culture or 2 Tbsp of active culture plain yogurt and mix it all together. That’s it. It is really simple. Then once its done you need to pour it into an airtight container and refrigerate it for 6 hours. You can pour off the whey. I use a greek yogurt strainer to drain it off and also make it THICK. I like my yogurt to be thick enough to stand a spoon in it :) For those that don’t want to make their own yogurt you can find a few lowcarb brands in the stores. But once you try homemade yogurt you won’t go back- fair warning.
