Ingredients

3 cups (290 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (107 g) raw pecans coarsely chopped
¾ cup (100 g) raw almonds coarsely chopped
½ cup (40 g) unsweetened flaked coconut
½ cup (70 g) raw hemp seeds
⅓ cup (75 g) raw pumpkin seeds
¼ cup (24 g) peanut butter powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
3 large (100 g) egg whites
¾ cup (240 g) maple syrup
1 tablespoon (13 g) pure vanilla extract
Optional add-ins: sliced dates or dried cherries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, pecans, almonds, coconut, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a smaller bowl or liquid measuring cup, briefly whisk together the egg whites until frothy, then whisk in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until evenly combined.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets in a compact layer, using a spatula to gently press it down slightly (this will help form some clumps).
Bake 20 minutes, stir gently, then bake another 10-15 minutes until golden brown (keep an eye on the flaked granola since that’s likely to brown first). Allow the granola to cool, and then break into clumps. Add in dates or dried cherries, if using. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Regular protein powder can be substituted for the peanut butter powder. Ideally, pick one that is unsweetened since the maple syrup adds a lot of sweetness.
