Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almonds
- 1 cup Pecans
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Flaxseeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. Mix well.
Add the protein powder, cinnamon, and salt to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
