Making your own granola is easy, honey!

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

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.

Full disclosure: This post is supported by Myprotein. Thank you very much; it helps the blog continue to exist and also promotes veganism.

If you also get lost among all of Myprotein's products, you must read my recommendation post here.

If you're wondering whether protein powder can be baked and toasted, the answer is yes. There's no problem with baking protein powder, and the protein itself is not damaged. So, no worries.

A bit about Vegan Protein Granola

• The protein addition in the 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 upfront that the taste of soy flour is dominant and takes getting used to. For fans of the genre.
• Toppings: To make it healthy and tasty, I added sunflower and pumpkin seeds, raw cacao nibs, and cranberries. You can vary the toppings as you see fit.
• To make the granola tasty, I added a bit of silan (date syrup) and olive oil (otherwise it's not granola). You can swap for maple syrup or any other sweetener you like, and also switch the olive oil for any other oil you prefer. It doesn't matter.
