This Protein Granola recipe is made with nutritious and wholesome ingredients without any refined sugars. Loaded with tons of protein, vanilla flavor, and is extra chunky!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup nuts of choice; I love using mixed nuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup pepita seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 2 egg whites (lightly beaten)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts, protein powder, pepita seeds, and cinnamon. Mix together and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, honey, syrup and egg whites until combined.

  4. 4

    Stir the protein mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until combined and coated.

  5. 5

    Spread and press the granola onto the prepared baking sheet and make sure the granola is touching so it creates extra chunky granola pieces. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the granola. This is where you break up the large chunks. Bake for another 15 minutes or until the top of the granola is a light golden brown. Let the granola cool and then enjoy!
