Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.75 cup unflavored protein powder
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well combined.
Pour the melted mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add the protein powder, cinnamon, and salt, stirring again to ensure the mix is completely combined.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove from oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will harden as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
