Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds, sliced
• 1 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 0.25 cup Flaxseeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
• 4 cups Unsweetened Greek yogurt
• 2 cups Fresh berries (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, protein powder, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. Stir to ensure an even distribution.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.

Step 6

Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, the granola will crisp up.

Step 7

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 8

Serve 1/2 cup of granola with 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and top with fresh berries if desired.

Step 9

Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
