Protein Granola Recipes

Protein Granola Recipes: Do you adore granola but detest having to spend so much money on a small bag at the store? Make your own granola; it’s far less expensive and much easier! The majority of the protein in this homemade granola recipe comes from the oats and nuts. A small amount of granola, honey, and fresh berries are my favorite topping for a cup of plain Greek yogurt. It takes very little time to prepare and is among the healthiest and simplest breakfasts you could have. I promise that if you try my high-protein granola, you won’t be sorry.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, almonds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and ginger). Coat everything by giving it a good stir.
• Stir in coconut oil, vanilla essence, and maple syrup until the mixture appears completely moist.

• Spoon mixture onto two large parchment paper-lined baking sheets. If parchment paper is not needed, simply mist the sheet pans with cooking oil.
• I prefer to compact the mixture to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2.” This gives the bottom of the mixture a little crunch and enables it to roast evenly.
• Stirring every ten minutes, roast for thirty minutes. Make sure everything is distributed equally when you stir it.

• After the granola is done baking, take it out of the oven and stir it again before adding the dried fruit—in this example, cranberries. After letting it cool entirely to room temperature, keep it in an airtight container.

NOTES

FAQs AND QUESTIONs

How To Make Homemade Granola

• Granola is simple enough for anyone to prepare. Granola is easy to make if you know how to operate an oven. To begin, add the following dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl: protein powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, almonds, sunflower seeds, and sea salt. After mixing everything together, add the wet components, coconut oil and maple syrup

• . Make sure all of the dry components are soaked by giving it a good stir. Next, transfer the granola mixture to two large baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly, allowing it to roast nicely. I would estimate that the layer is between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick.

Is granola healthy?

• Granola is as healthy as you make it. Making your own means you always have more control as to what goes into it which definitely makes it healthier. This granola has a base of old-fashioned rolled oats, which are unprocessed and high in fiber and protein. Some store-bought granola, especially the cheap ones have high fructose corn syrup, which I try to avoid at all costs. It’s hard to avoid all artificial sweeteners, but this one is usually obvious.

Is Granola High In Protein?

• Protein in this granola comes from rolled oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and protein powder. Rolled oats are a great source of fiber and protein. I opted for almonds in this recipe because they are one the highest in protein out of nuts. Once roasted, I can hide them from my kids. Peanuts are high in protein, but my kids are aren’t fans and I can’t hide the taste of them as well.
