Maple mango granola

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cup raw nuts and/or seeds I used 1 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup walnut pieces, and 1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 scoops protein powder (optional)*
  • ½ cup oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup dried fruit chopped if large (I used dried mangos w a little bit cranberries)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir to blend.
  • Pour in the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Mix well, then pour the granola onto your prepared tray, spreading it out in an even layer.
  • Bake until lightly golden, about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway.
  • Let the granola cool completely.(It gets crisper--not so mushy--in this step.)
  • Add your dried fruit.

Notes

*I only use this clean, nutritious protein powder. If you want to try it out, use code "SOULYRESTED" to save 10% all the time.
Protein powder suggestions: Strawberry, Lemon, or plain are all delicious in this granola.
