Start your day the Nate’s Honey way with a crunchy, protein-packed granola. Pure organic honey, warm cinnamon, wholesome oats and a boost of protein come together for a naturally sweet snack that feels as good as it tastes.

Yield: 7-8 Cups

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Total Time: 1 Hour 14 Minutes

Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ cups raw nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds)
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp salt
⅓ cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
½ cup Nate’s Organic 100% Pure Honey
½ cup vanilla or plain protein powder (whey or plant-based), optional
2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Add Nate's Honey to your cart

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, raw nuts, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to blend.

In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, honey, protein powder (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is evenly coated (it’ll be thick if protein is used!). Add these wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and toss to evenly coat.

Pour the granola mixture onto your prepared pan and spread it in an even layer with a large spoon or spatula, pressing firmly down.

Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway through. For extra-clumpy granola, press it down firmly with your spatula after stirring to create a firm layer.

Let the granola cool undisturbed for at least 45 minutes. It will crisp up as it cools. Break into chunks with your hands for big clusters or stir to make smaller pieces.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 – 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let frozen granola come to room temperature before serving.
