High Protein Granola, the perfect breakfast for camping and hiking

Supercharged Granola – High Protein, Low Sugar

High Protein Granola, the perfect breakfast for camping and hiking

04/08/2016 //  by Monica Shaw//  4 Comments

Most granola is filled with lots of carbs and sugar that make it anything but a health food. This high protein granola uses Pulsin Whey Protein Crispies combined with jumbo oats to pack a protein punch and an awesome crispy texture. If you can’t get hold of the protein crispies, try a puffed grain such as puffed wheat or puffed quinoa, or simply add more jumbo oats. I usually have this with some sliced banana but you can chuck in some dried fruit to keep things light on the trail.


High Protein Granola

Makes about 6 servings

  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1.5 cups jumbo oats
  • 1.5 cups protein crispies
  • 1.5 cups chopped nuts (such as almonds, pecans, pistachios, or walnuts)
  • 1.5 cups coconut shavings
  • 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or warmed coconut oil or cacao butter
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • a pinch each of ground ginger and nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups coconut shavings

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 300 F / 150 C.
  2. On a big baking sheet or roasting tin, mix together the oats, protein crispies, nuts, sesame seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  3. Whisk together the egg white, honey or agave, and the oil. Pour over the dry ingredients, mix thoroughly, and spread evenly across the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and dry.
  5. Let cool (it will crisp as it cools). Mix in coconut and serve.

    So pretty – and I do so agree about most granola being far from healthy.

    looks delicious. The protein crispies link doesn’t seem to work any more, what would you use instead?

      Thanks for the comment! So I looked around and it looks like this company doesn’t due the puffed protein crispies anymore… the closest I could find are these pea protein crispies: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Veety-Protein-Crispies-Natural-Bavaria/dp/B01MFHW66B. If you’re not super worried about the protein content, you could try other types of puffed grain (like puffed quinoa or puffed amaranth). Let me know how you get on!

Sunrise walk with the hound. Having lived here for Sunrise walk with the hound. Having lived here for over 10 years now (how did that happen?) I still feel enormous gratitude for having this at my back door, especially in current circumstances. I’ve been making plans for my next move but for now it’s all about being grateful for what I have right now. #sunrise #wiltshire #dogwalk #frost #winterwalks

Busy times at ESW HQ restocking after a busy Chris Busy times at ESW HQ restocking after a busy Christmas. I was accidentally sent some red chillies for my Trailblazer Hot Sauce. I could have sent then back but they looked so good I decided to keep them. Currently thinking I’ll smoke them with hickory, but who knows! … there could be a special edition Trailblazer coming soon!

Campervan cooking. First meals! Appreciating that Campervan cooking. First meals! Appreciating that a little bit of convenience can go a long way while still enabling great food and fresh ingredients. Prep-prepped #barbacoa made for killer campervan tacos with shredded cabbage, avocado, and our house-made hot sauce, salsa macha, and pickles (all in the ESW shop). Lunches were made easy with some minestrone I cooked and dehydrated at home. We also used some of @desihealthycurry's curry kits to make a deeelish fish stew and cauliflower curry on our first night. All made on the #jetboil - no kitchen installed just yet. Good times! More tales of our first night out on the blog (link in profile).⠀
