Try My Favorite High Protein Granola Recipe
Makes 20 servings
This protein packed granola recipe is so much tastier and nutritious than purchasing commercial brands. Enjoy granola on top of yogurt with fruit or as a morning breakfast cereal with milk. My family is a huge fan of granola so this makes a big batch but you can of course make a half recipe if you want a smaller quantity or place in the freezer (just don’t add the dried fruit until you are going to enjoy fresh)..
What you need:
3.5 cups roughly chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pistachios etc)
2.5 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup hemp hearts
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut ribbons or flakes
3 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1.5 cups dried fruit (such as raisins, dried cranberries, dried blueberries or dried gogi berries etc.).
How you make:
Mix everything together (except dried fruit) in a large baking dish and bake at 325 F for 30-40 minutes (stirring every 10 minutes) until browned and toasted.
Once cool stir in dried fruit and store in an air tight container.
Serve with milk or on top of yogurt, cottage cheese or dessert tofu with your favorite fruit such as berries, diced apples, diced pears or sliced peaches or plums.
