Ingredients
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats 80g
- 2 cups Puffed Rice Cereal 34g
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder 31g
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil 50ml
- 1/4 cup lite pancake syrup 50ml
Optional
- 1-2 tsp. lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the oats, puffed rice, vanilla protein powder and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk together. Add lemon zest, if desired.
- Melt the coconut oil and add to the bowl of dry ingredients. Add the syrup and stir together so everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the granola onto a parchment lined baking sheet so that there are no large clumps, leaving a lot of spaces between the granola. This will help it dry out while baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, remove and mix up the granola. Place back in the oven for 2-6 minutes, checking every couple minutes to ensure you do not burn the granola and remove once it is dry and crumbly.
- Let the granola cool completely on the sheetpan to dry out before crumbling into bite size pieces.
