Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Almonds, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
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, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and matcha powder. Stir until well mixed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated and combined.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
Once the granola is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it on its own, with yogurt, or as a topping for your favorite smoothie bowl.
