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