I originally made this recipe for a hiking treat, but they are so good and easy that I’ve started making them as snacks for hunting, fishing, boating and just to have around the house. I like to bake them in a mini-muffin tin, but you can make them any size or shape you wish.
2 cups old-fashioned 5-minute oats
1/2 cup lowfat greek yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup (4 scoops) vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup dried raisins or cranberries
1/2 cup brown sugar or brown sugar blend, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute or with a spoon until well-blended. Set aside.
- Line two (12-hole) mini-muffin pans with paper liners. Scoop 2 tablespoons of granola mixture into each cup.
- Bake on the middle oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
