PEANUT BUTTER & VANILLA PROTEIN GRANOLA
What do you usually have for breakfast? I particularly like scrambled eggs… but sometimes I also like to have some healthy granola. Healthy granola from supermarkets is expensive… and I understand why! BUT what if you could make it yourself at home? I promise it won’t take much time at all!
This is THE recipe for that healthy granola! It’s not full of added sugars and additives like the ones you find at the grocery store and it’s for sure not as expensive as the healthy ones out there! Besides, it’s high in protein! Ohh Yeah!!
I have made healthy granola several times, and this one is the crunchiest healthy granola that I have made so far!! I am so excited to share it with you all!
DIABETIC DIET TIP
Since this granola is made mostly from oats, you need to have it with moderation specially as a diabetic. It will be much healthier than the ones you can buy (except for a couple of brands that are out there, but they’re very expensive)!
So this is a great healthy option if you want to add some carbs to your breakfast or afternoon snack since it will provide good carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein!
From personal experience, if you eat carbohydrates, it’s better to have them around a physical activity or at breakfast. This is why always make sure your blood sugar levels are stable (between 80mg/dL and 120mg/dL) before eating carbs!

INGREDIENTS
2 & 1/2 cups or 200gr oats
2 scoops or 60gr of vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
90gr raw honey or 80gr yacon syrup or syrup of choice
85gr peanut butter or almond or nut butter of choice
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
STEPS
Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt together the almond butter and honey and mix until completely creamed together.
On a bowl, mix the oats with the protein powder, cinnamon and poppy seeds.
Pour the almond butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. I used a spatula first and then my hands!
Spread evenly on the lined pan and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before breaking into clusters! Once cooled it becomes so crunchy!!!!
* Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks (it won’t last that long, you’ll eat it in days!)
