Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Almonds, sliced
- 1 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 0.25 cup Flaxseeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
- 4 cups Unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 2 cups Fresh berries (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, protein powder, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. Stir to ensure an even distribution.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the dry ingredients are well-coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will crisp up.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins.
Serve 1/2 cup of granola with 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and top with fresh berries if desired.
Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
