Description
A delicious and healthy granola packed with protein, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats (225g, gluten free, if needed)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (60g, or seeds)
- 1 cup protein powder (100g, See notes)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (120g, See notes)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (80ml, or honey)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/325F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the oats and protein powder and mix well.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the peanut butter and maple syrup and microwave in 20-second spurts, until the peanut butter has melted.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the protein granola mixture onto the lined baking tray and spread out in an even layer.
- Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring the granola halfway through.
- Remove the granola from the oven and mix once more. The granola should look lightly golden and brown around the edges and crisp to the touch.
- Let it cool completely. It may not look fully crisp once out of the oven, but it will continue to crisp as it cools.
- Once it reaches room temperature, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and add your mix-ins.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
