Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
• 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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 mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chopped walnuts, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Stir in the dried cranberries and chopped apricots once the granola is cool.

Step 9

Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, smoothie bowls, or eat it as a healthy snack!
