Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Almonds, chopped
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dried cranberries (or any dried fruit of choice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, protein powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.

Step 5

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula to ensure it's in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking, until the granola is golden brown and aromatic. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to harden as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or your choice of dried fruit.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
