Homemade Protein Granola
Serving: 8 Prepping Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
160 grams old fashioned rolled oatsÂ
75 grams of chopped nuts of choice or seeds
60 grams vanilla protein powder - (I used vanilla whey protein powder.)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup olive oilÂ
1 egg white or 33 grams
3 tablespoons pure honey
Optional mix ins: chocolate chips, dried fruit, coconut flakes
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Spread granola onto a baking sheet with parchment paper in an even layer. This will allow it to cook evenly.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 18-20 minutes. Gently flip the granola halfway through. Be careful not to break the clumps or you won't end up with any granola clusters. The granola should be a deep golden brown color from the caramelized honey.
Allow the granola to fully cool before enjoying. It will crisp up as it cools.
