Ingredients
- 4 cups (320 g) oats
- ½ cup (132 g) peanut butter
- ½ cup (120 g) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract
- 2 scoops (60 g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp (4 g) cinnamon
- ½ tsp (3 g) salt
Instructions
For the Granola
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Microwave until the peanut butter is melted.
- To the bowl add the cinnamon, protein powder, and salt, stir together to combine.
- In a large bowl, add the oats and peanut butter/syrup mixture. Stir to coat the rolled oats.
- On a parchment lined sheet pan, spread the oats in a single layer of about ½" in thickness.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until it is slightly firm in the center.
- Allow to cool completely to room temperature and then break it up into pieces of your desired size.
- Store in an air tight container. I used the Zwilling CUBE containers which are vacuum sealable dry storage containers. The Granola should last a couple of weeks in the pantry.
- This recipe makes 10 servings. Get a final weight of your total yield and divide this by 10 to obtain the per serving weight. I yielded 575g for 57.5g per serving.

“Add raisins”? There are no raisins in the Ingredients list?
“Microwave until the oil is melted”
Is oil needed? I don’t see it in the ingredients.
What does “per serving” means? How much gramms are one serving?
It says 575 grams total, so 10 57.5 g servings.
Jesus christ guys, the recipe instructions were copied from the other oatmeal recipes and wasn’t double checked for ingredients. Are you all incapable of having a single independent tought?

This one’s lit – we’ve been making this weekly. We burned ours at 20 min but found a sweet spot at 18. Our oven probably just runs a bit hot.
Happy accident happened when make this for a second time. This is a fairly simple recipe, so I let me daughter make it. Well, she added two tablespoons of vanilla instead of teaspoons. So to counter act the strong vanilla taste I doubled the cinnamon, and now it just taste like a snicker doodle.
I tried this with casein powder (since this is used in pretty much every other recipe) and ended up with a grainy mess.
Tried it again with Whey after watching the video and it came out great.
I wish that the recipe specified that you should make this with whey or plant based protein and not casein.
