Gluten-Free Protein Granola Recipe

Granola is one of those classic breakfasts that never goes out of fashion, but we also know that most shop bought granola is PACKED full of added sugar!

So what if we told you that it’s super easy to make your own granola and perhaps even more importantly, that you can make it high protein!

One of the great things about protein granola is the different ways to make it which you can check out below…

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (gluten free)
3/8 cup liquid egg whites
3/4 cup Pea Protein 80
1 tbsp coconut oil
3/8 cup almond milk
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp dates (chopped)

Directions

1. Mix everything together (whisk it, don’t blend it, because you want to retain the oats’ form). Then, place it all on a flat cookie tray and bake it at 200C (392F) until nicely browned.

2. When ready, take it out and go mental on it – i.e. tear it apart with your hands, a fork, a knife… what ever is in arms reach! You just want to get the pieces as small as you can. To then make it super crunchy, bake it again. Another option is to store it like it is and then, right before eating a bowl, re-baking it at a high temp so it crunches up nicely. 

Variations:

1. To make it crunchier, add some slivered nuts to the mix along with some seeds! For example, sunflower seeds and chopped hazelnuts are a great example for you to try!

2. For extra antioxidant goodness, consider adding some chocolate chunks, carob chips, and/or goji berries to the mix

3. If you want your granola sweeter, add a tbsp of honey to the mix. The honey works great because it binds everything together as it bakes too and adds an extra flavour dimension to the whole recipe!
