Ingredients

• 3 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, whey protein powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well mixed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 7

Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crisp as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
