Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups chopped pecans or preferred nut
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together oats, pecans, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Pour in maple syrup, coconut oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  4. Pour onto prepared baking sheet and spread evenly across the tray, patting down slightly.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes or until just slightly golden around the edges. Let cool completely before serving, as this is how the large clusters will form.
  6. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Press the mixture firmly and evenly onto the baking sheet before baking; this helps create bigger, more satisfying clusters.
  • Resist the urge to stir the granola while it bakes, and let it cool completely on the tray before breaking it apart.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
