One of my favorite breakfasts is yogurt topped with granola and heaps of fresh fruit. Store bought granola is great when you’re in a time crunch but I also love to take the time to make my own homemade granola because it just tastes extra good, and you know exactly what is going into it. You can absolutely make this recipe without the protein, and just add in a little extra oats or coconut flakes if you want. The awesome thing about granola is you can add pretty much whatever ingredients you want, and it will come out delicious every time!

1 large bowl
1 baking tray
Wooden Spoon

2 cups gluten free rolled oats
1/4 cup Sarah’s Day Cookie Dough protein powder

1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup maple syrup
