Crunchy Chocolate Protein Granola
Ingredients
- 85g (1 cup) porridge oats
- 30g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut
- 40g (1/4 cup) pumpkin seeds
- 80g (1/2 cup) chopped almonds (pulse whole almonds in a food processor to break up)
- 30g (1 scoop) protein powder*
- 100g (2/3 cup) dried cranberries
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cocoa - optional
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp (26g) coconut oil
- 4 tbsp agave nectar/freedom/honey
Instructions
- Mix together the oats, coconut flakes, almonds and pumpkin seeds before spreading on a baking tray and baking for 15 minutes at 175 degrees C, stirring half way
- Meanwhile, mix together the dried cranberries with the protein powder (optional), cinnamon, cocoa (optional) and salt
- Heat the coconut oil and agave nectar in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted
- Add the toasted oat mix to the coated dried cranberries and melted coconut oil/agave nectar until thoroughly combined.
- Pack the mixture into a 8x8 or 9x9 baking tray and press down, knocking out any air
- Bake in the oven at 150 degrees C for 20 mins before allowing to cool (I speeded up the cooling process by popping it in the fridge).. and breaking up the mixture with a spoon (the big chunks are SO satifying to nibble on!!). Store your granola in an air-tight container.
Notes
*Optional – I used Purition or Sativa Shakes (High Pro Choc Caramel Vegan Mix) or you could use cocoa powder/hot chocolate powder.
