Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup shelled sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup almonds, chopped
- 0.75 cup whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
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 rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, whey protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave), combine the melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sugar-free maple syrup. Heat gently until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to form an even layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on the granola during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
