Amazing Protein Packed Granola | FoodsOfOurLives.com
It’s a been a while since I came up with a new granola recipe… actually it’s been a while since I made granola at all.
I’ve been kinda bad the last few months but I am trying to get things back on track around here and get my family eating healthier (and myself). I’ve been eating a lot of chocolate.
Like a lot.
So it’s time.
So I have been perusing pinterest and lots of foodie sites looking for snack ideas… while really fruits and veggies are the best choices sometimes you need a little something more 🙂
Like after a workout for instance.
I decided to take one of my favorite granola recipes and add a bunch of yummy and healthy stuff to it and see what happened.
This is now my favorite granola.
The millet and quinoa add a nice little crunch – like a teeny tiny rice puff almost but with a nutty flavor. Delicious!
You must try it!
- 5 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup millet
- ½ cup quinoa
- ½ cup ground flaxseed
- ½ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup shelled sunflower seeds
- 1½ cups slivered almonds
- 1½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3 tablespoons of cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups of no sugar added applesauce
- ½ cup honey
- Preheat your oven to 275.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla, applesauce and honey, stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Divide the mixture between 2 rimmed baking sheets and place in the oven.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, then toss the mixture with a spatula and spread it evenly again.
- Repeat this procedure until the mixture is fairly dry and brown, you will need to gradually shorten the baking time as it starts to cook and brown.
- Once it is done, remove the trays from the oven and set aside to cool.
