Healthy Homemade High Protein Granola
This Healthy Homemade High Protein Granola is packed with wholesome ingredients, plant-based protein, and healthy fats from my favorite sunflower butter. It's a crunchy whole grain breakfast, naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup, easy to customize, and so much better than store-bought granola—vegan, nut-free, refined sugar-free, with a lovely flavor, and a gluten-free option.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder I recommend SUNWARRIOR — use code KATIES for a discount
- ½ cup SunButter Organic Sunflower Seed Butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 2½ tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla bean powder, sea salt, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and shredded coconut.
Combine wet and dry:
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is fully coated.
Spread and bake:
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly to help form clusters.
- Bake at 275°F for 40–45 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Keep an eye on it near the end—you're looking for a golden, dry texture.
Cool completely:
- Let the granola cool fully on the baking sheet—it will crisp up more as it cools. Once cool, break into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
