Ingredients

½ cup drippy almond butter roasted almonds and salt should be only ingredients; see notes for subs
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 cups rolled oatmeal certified GF for allergies

2-3 tablespoons coconut oil melted or spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, stir together the almond butter and maple syrup. To the bowl, add the rolled oatmeal, protein powder, pumpkin seeds and pecans. Stir until evenly coated. (If using melted coconut oil, pour 3 tablespoons over top and stir to combine.)
Spread mixture over top of the baking sheet, pressing down to form an even layer. Having the mixture stick together while it bakes will help form clusters after it cools. (If using spray oil, spray the granola after arranging on the baking sheet. With spray oil, 2 tablespoons should be sufficient.)
Bake in oven for 15-20 mins, watching to make sure edges aren't burning. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Notes

Nutrition Facts are an estimate and may vary depending on specific brands that you choose.

I like almond butter for its neutral flavor and high protein content but any kind of nut or seed butter works for the recipe. If using plain protein powder, you may want to add a few more tablespoons of pure maple syrup and a splash of vanilla extract.
