Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup mixed nuts and seeds - I've used almonds, walnuts, cashews and pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder - I've used vegan protein
- ¼ cup natural creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- Good pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325℉/ 170℃. In a large bowl add the dry ingredients - the rolled oats, mixed nuts, protein powder, cinnamon and a good pinch of saltStir to combine so all the ingredients are mixed together
- In a separate small bowl, add the peanut butter, coconut oil and honey or maple syrup. Place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds so the ingredients have softened to a runny consistencyWhisk together so there are no clumps - if it's still too thick or lumpy, microwave for another 20-30 seconds
- Pour the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well so that everything is coated well and there is isn't any protein powder left at the bottom of the bowl. **Note different oat brands and protein have different absorption levels, so if you find its still very dry or have too much protein powder visible, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of oil or maple syrup
- Pour the granola mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it out evenly. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes
- Carefully take it out of the oven, mix it all together and spread it out again evenly. Bake again for a further 5-8 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down completely. It will become more crunchy as it cools downServe your delicious protein granola with your overnight oats , in a yogurt bowl or with milk as a healthy cereal and enjoy!
