High-Protein Homemade Granola
This high-protein granola recipe is addictive. I’ve been making it for a few weeks, and I’m loving the crunch it adds to my morning yogurt. I use a combination of two parts raw almonds and 1 part walnuts for healthy protein.
How To Cook The Homemade Granola
This recipe is super easy to make. Just mix the ingredients and spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring about halfway through.
Insider Tip
You can add the chocolate chips from the beginning or wait until after the granola has cooked to retain the chip shape. I’ve made the recipe both ways and can’t taste a difference. for other salads and mixed it with a small amount of soy sauce for a crispy salmon topping.
Cook until the granola is crispy. Allow to cool before breaking into small pieces.
How Store Homemade Granola
Homemade granola can be stored in your pantry for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. Ensure the granola is completely cooled, then break it into small pieces. Store in an air-tight container.
How To Serve Homemade Granola
You can use your homemade granola as a crunchy topping for any dish that you desire. I use mine mixed with Greek yogurt and berries for breakfast. It can be added to oatmeal and other cereals for added crunch and a protein boost.
Is This Recipe Healthy?
Yes, this recipe is rich in healthy protein from almonds and walnuts. I like to use dark chocolate chips for an added boost of antioxidants.
