Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup unsalted mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews), roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, protein powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer to allow for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking for even baking.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
