Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup shelled sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup almonds, chopped
- 0.75 cup whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, whey protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave), combine the melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sugar-free maple syrup. Heat gently until well combined and smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on the granola during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
