How to Make Granola Nut Protein Bar

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out easily.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, protein powder, and cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. Make sure all the oats and nuts are well moistened.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or spatula to create an even layer.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars and enjoy!
