Description

A delicious and healthy high protein granola recipe.


Ingredients

2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons avocado or coconut oil
1/3 cup almond butter
1 scoop zero sugar vanilla protein powder (I used Isopure)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar (or sugar substitute)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
4 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup hemp hearts
2/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup wheat germ (omit for gluten free)
1 cup golden raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, almond butter, protein powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and kosher salt until smooth.
  3. Stir in the oats, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, and wheat germ until the dry ingredients are fully coated in the wet ingredients.
  4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Spoon the granola mixture evenly onto the sheet and then press down so that the pieces are stuck together.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for one hour.
  8. Break up the granola into bite sized pieces and add the golden raisins.
  9. Transfer to a large airtight container and store in a cool, dark place for up to one month.

Notes

To lower the net carbs to 13g per serving, replace the brown sugar with sugar substitute, and omit the golden raisins.
