Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup chopped almonds
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • cup pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter
  • cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Silicone spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and gently press it down using a spatula for larger crunchy clusters.
  6. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown. Avoid stirring halfway if you want chunkier granola clusters.
  7. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely before breaking it into clusters.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

For extra crunch, let the granola cool fully before touching it.
Use whey protein powder for crispier clusters.
Add dark chocolate chips after the granola cools completely.
Swap peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter if desired.
Perfect for meal prep, breakfasts, and healthy snacks.
