Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, whey protein powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
