This High Protein Vegan Granola is healthy yet absolutely indulgent. The protein is amped up with the addition of vegan protein powder along with chia seeds, nuts, and peanut butter.

This granola is the perfect snack to prepare that you can enjoy all week long! It’s good enough to snack on its own, but you can also add it to plant based milk (use soy for more protein) for a quick and easy breakfast or you can add it to yogurt with fruit for a healthy dessert.

Each serving (1/4 cup) has about 13 grams of protein. With the addition of healthy fats and plenty of carbohydrates, this high protein vegan granola is very satisfy!
Ingredients in High Protein Vegan Granola
Rolled oats: Oats contain 10g of protein per cup, are super healthy for your heart, and can help with weight loss. Make sure to get gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free.
Protein powder: I use Truvani banana cinnamon protein powder, but feel free to use any flavor you want. The banana cinnamon flavor was perfect for this recipe.
Flaxseed meal: These provide protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Make sure to get flaxseed meal and not whole flax seeds, because whole seeds are impossible to digest which reduces the health benefits.
Chia seeds: These tiny seeds pack a ton of nutrients in them. They have antioxidants, fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and many micronutrients.
Nuts: Nuts are another source of protein in this granola recipe. I am using walnuts and cashews, the both bake up beautifully for an amazing nutty crunch in the granola. Feel free to use any nuts you have on hand. You can replace the nuts with seeds (sunflower or pepita) to make this nut-free.
Raisins: The raisins become chewy and plump as they are baked in the oven and they add the perfect addition to the sweetness of the granola.
Banana Chips: They banana chips add another little bit of sweetness and texture to the granola.
Peanut butter: The peanut butter should be natural, unsalted, and palm oil free, just make sure to mix well and have it at room temperature. This type of peanut butter is usually more oily than peanut butter containing palm oil, so it works better to bind together that granola into little clusters.
Maple syrup: This is used to sweeten the granola. It is mixed into the peanut butter to thin it out a little.
Cinnamon: This warming spice give the granola an extra flavor boost.
Salt: Brings out all the flavors of the various elements of the granola.

How to make High Protein Vegan Granola
This high protein vegan granola is so easy to make, and once you have all the ingredients, you can make this over and over again, making it cheaper than buying premade granola at the store.
To get started, mix the peanut butter and maple syrup together. The mixture should be pretty thick, but pourable. Add 1 tsp of water to it if you think it needs it.
Then in a large bowl mix together the oats, protein powder, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, walnuts, cashews, raisins, and banana chips.
Add the peanut butter and maple syrup mixture into the oats and thoroughly mix it in. There will be some clusters of peanut butter and oats, but large clusters should be broken into smaller clusters and mixed into the oats more.
Spread the mixture out evenly on a baking tray with parchment paper and bake for 13- 15 mins at 350°F

Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, processed sugar free, and can be made nut-free: Make sure to get “gluten-free” oats for people with gluten sensitivities. Although oats are naturally gluten free, they are sometimes processed on shared equipment. To make this nut-free, swap the nuts for sunflower and pepita seeds and swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini. This dish is oil free to reduce the calorie content of the granola. Finally, unless your protein powder has added sugar, this dish is free from processed sugar.
