Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Quinoa flakes
• 1 cup Almonds, sliced
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla, gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, quinoa flakes, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and coconut flakes.

Step 3

Add the protein powder, cinnamon, and sea salt to the dry ingredients and mix well until evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut oil until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant when done.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cool, break the granola into clusters if desired and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
