Healthy High Protein Granola (Printer-Friendly Version)

Protein-rich granola with a cinnamon kick, ideal for snacking or breakfast toppings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 3 large egg whites, room temperature

→ Powders and Sweeteners

02 - ¼ cup collagen peptides powder
03 - 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
04 - ½ teaspoon liquid stevia

→ Cereals and Oats

05 - 2 cups crisp brown rice cereal
06 - 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
02 - Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until slightly bubbly. Add collagen peptides powder and whisk vigorously to incorporate fully, eliminating clumps by spreading on bowl sides with a spatula.
03 - Whisk in ground cinnamon and liquid stevia until evenly blended.
04 - Pour in brown rice cereal and rolled oats, folding gently with a spatula to evenly coat both cereals with the wet mixture.
05 - Spread mixture evenly on prepared pan. Bake at 325°F for 20 minutes.
06 - Stir gently to break up clusters and prevent burning along edges. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
07 - Stir again and bake for another 4 to 8 minutes until crunchy. Cool for 5 minutes before breaking large clusters. Let granola cool completely on pan prior to storing in an airtight container.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For increased sweetness, add ⅛ to ½ teaspoon more liquid stevia. Increase cinnamon by ¼ to ½ teaspoon for a spicier flavor. Baking time and temperature remain unchanged.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container; granola will remain fresh for at least one week.
