Ingredients

• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 cup Crisp rice cereal
• 0.5 cup Almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, crisp rice cereal, chopped almonds, walnuts, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until all the dry ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg whites until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to compact it.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown. Stir the granola halfway through baking to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

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 8

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Step 9

Enjoy your Low Fat High Protein Granola as a breakfast cereal with milk or yogurt, or as a snack by itself.
