Making your own granola is easy, honey!

All you need to do is mix oats with delicious, healthy additions, toast them in the oven, and boom—you have tasty and healthy granola for breakfast or just when you feel like snacking on something.

And since I assume you're busy people, I suggest combining the granola with your protein serving to shorten your time in the kitchen.

Yes, granola with added protein.

If you're wondering whether protein powder can be baked or toasted, the answer is yes. There's no issue with baking protein powder; the protein itself isn't damaged, so there's no concern.

A bit about Vegan Protein Granola

• The protein boost in this granola comes from Myprotein's unflavored protein powder. Product link is here. My discount code is Haggai.
• If you don't have unflavored protein powder, you can use any protein powder you have or, alternatively, use soy flour.
• Regarding soy flour as a substitute: I'll say in advance that the flavor of soy flour is dominant and takes some getting used to. It's for fans of that specific taste.
• Add-ins: To make it healthy and tasty, I added sunflower and pumpkin seeds, raw cacao nibs, and cranberries. You can vary the additions as you see fit.
• To make the granola delicious, I added a bit of date syrup (Silan) and olive oil (otherwise, it's not granola). You can swap for maple syrup or any other sweetener you like, and replace the olive oil with any other oil. It doesn't matter.
