FitnFab’s Homemade Greek Yogurt Granola

Delicious & Energizing in one easy to-go snack!

-Wet Ingredients-

2 – 6oz Chobani Banana Flavored Greek Yogurts

1/4 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup (mix the flavor up by substituting Sugar Free Honey instead)

2 tbsp Almond Butter

½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce

-Dry Ingredients-

3 cups Old-Fashioned Oats

2 tbsp Natural Cane Sugar (I use Sugar in the Raw)

2 tbsp Brown Sugar

2 tbsp Ground Flax Seed

2 tbsp Protein Powder

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Nutmeg

¼ tsp Salt

½ cup Raisins

½ cup Dried Cranberries

½ cup Almonds

½ cup Walnuts

Directions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gradually stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until combined
3. Spread out as flat as possible on a large, greased baking pan. I use a spatula to do this.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
5. Pull out and let sit/dry for 2 hours. Then, using your hands, break granola and flip so most of the granola that was facing down is now facing up to get air. Let dry for another 6-8 hours.
6. It will still be a little moist due to the Greek yogurt. I keep mine in a sealed container and have even frozen it to use at a later date. Eat as is, or put in a bowl and add a little Unsweetened Almond Milk to make a great breakfast cereal!

Enjoy and Happy Running!
