Ingredients
2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
½ cup Vanilla Protein Powder
¼ cup Avocado Oil
¼ cup Peanut Butter
⅓ cup Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ cup Hemp Seeds
¼ cup Dried Cranberries
¼ cup Pumpkin Seeds (optional)
¼ cup Coconut Flakes (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, cinnamon, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds (if using).
-
In another bowl, microwave avocado oil, maple syrup, and peanut butter for 20–30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
-
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well coated. If too dry, add an extra tablespoon of oil or syrup.
-
Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through.
-
Let cool completely on the tray to allow crunchy clusters to form.
-
Stir in coconut flakes and dried cranberries after cooling.
-
Store in a sealed glass jar in a cool place for up to 1 month.
Notes
-
For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.
-
Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing maple syrup.

Want more clusters? Press down firmly on the granola before baking and avoid stirring afterward.
