Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter, unsweetened
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 0.5 cup Protein powder, unflavored or vanilla
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, walnuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of these dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well using a spatula or spoon until the oats are fully coated and the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting, until the granola is golden brown. Keep a close eye on the granola in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. During this time, the granola will crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
