Healthy High Protein Granola (Ready-to-Print Version)

Crunchy cinnamon-spiced granola, high in protein and fiber, perfect for a nourishing start.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 3 large egg whites, room temperature
02 - ½ teaspoon liquid stevia

→ Dry Ingredients

03 - ¼ cup collagen peptides powder (about 0.7 oz)
04 - 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
05 - 2 cups crisp brown rice cereal (about 2 oz)
06 - 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats, gluten-free if needed (about 5.3 oz)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until broken up and slightly bubbly. Add collagen peptides powder, whisking until fully incorporated and smooth. Mix in ground cinnamon and liquid stevia.
03 - Pour in crisp brown rice cereal and rolled oats, folding gently with a spatula until evenly coated with the wet mixture.
04 - Spread mixture evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 325°F for 20 minutes.
05 - Remove pan and gently stir granola to break up clusters and redistribute. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
06 - Stir granola again and bake for 4 to 8 more minutes (total baking time 34-38 minutes) until granola is crunchy.
07 - Allow granola to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before breaking apart large clusters. Cool completely to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For a sweeter granola, increase liquid stevia from 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon without adjusting baking time or temperature. Adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon extra cinnamon enhances spice flavor.
