Ingredients

• 3 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond butter
• 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped almonds
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.75 cup unflavored protein powder
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

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 rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the melted mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 5

Add the protein powder, cinnamon, and salt, stirring again to ensure the mix is completely combined.

Step 6

Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to form an even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
