Ingredients

• 4 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Raw walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter, unsweetened
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 0.5 cup Protein powder, unflavored or vanilla

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 bowl, combine the oats, almonds, walnuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of these dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well using a spatula or spoon until the oats are fully coated and the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even toasting, until the granola is golden brown. Keep a close eye on the granola in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. During this time, the granola will crisp up further as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and transfer to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
