Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Almonds, chopped
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, vanilla or plain
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and whey protein powder. Stir well to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate small saucepan, warm honey and melted coconut oil over low heat. Stir until the two are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the honey and coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients. Add cinnamon and salt. Stir until all dry ingredients are coated evenly.
Step 5
Spread the granola mix onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Step 6
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Step 7
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or place it in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
