Why trust us?

Do you like cluster-y, chunky granola which is crisp and not-too-sweet? Well this healthy chunky granola is for you! With a sweet flavour from our caramel whey protein and a handful of rolled oats & nuts for crunch. The secret to making chunky granola is by mixing egg whites into the oats which helps them stay together in larger chunks as it bakes. You can also break the granola into whatever size chunks you like! If you don’t like nuts/seeds, feel free to leave them out. If you like things a bit sweeter, try mixing a handful of dried fruit into the granola after it’s been baked.

Ingredients

10 Persons

300 g

oats (jumbo/old-fashioned or porridge/quick-cook oats)
160 g

mixed nuts and seeds
35 g

Whey Protein Caramel
0.75 tsp

fine table salt
100 g

unsweetened, smooth applesauce
40 g

maple syrup
3

egg whites
30 g (melted)

Coconut oil

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 140°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2

Combine the oats, nuts/seeds, protein and salt in a large bowl.
3

In a jug or medium bowl, mix the applesauce/banana, maple syrup and egg whites. Melt the coconut oil and mix that in too. Pour into the large bowl of oat mixture and stir together until everything is fully coated.
4

Sprinkle the mixture onto the lined tray and press down to make a single, thin sheet of granola.
5

Bake for 15 minutes then rotate the tray 180-degrees and return the the oven for 15 minutes. Rotate 180 degrees and return to the oven for 15 more minutes.
6

Remove the tray from the oven and break the granola into chunks (choose however large/small you want them to be). Mix the chunks around on the tray and spread out into an even layer then return to the oven for a final 15 minutes.
7

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely – it’ll crisp up as it cools. Transfer to an airtight jar and store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
