If you’re looking for a breakfast that tastes like dessert but still keeps you feeling nourished and satisfied, this High-Protein Tiramisu Granola is it. Crunchy almonds, pecans, pepitas and hemp seeds are combined with Chief Nutrition’s Tiramisu Collagen Protein Bars and Chief Nutrition’s Dark Chocolate Collagen Protein.

The Chief Tiramisu Collagen Protein Bars are the star ingredient here, bringing that delicious tiramisu flavour and an extra hit of protein and collagen to every crunchy bite. We’ve also added Chief’s Dark Chocolate Collagen Protein in place of cacao, giving the granola that rich chocolate flavour while sneaking in even more protein.

The almonds, pecans and hemp seeds add healthy fats, fibre and plant-based protein, helping to make this granola more satisfying and supportive of steady energy. Add it to thick Greek yoghurt with fresh berries and a drizzle of nut butter, and you’ve got a breakfast that tastes like tiramisu but is genuinely nourishing enough to enjoy any morning.

CHIEF TIRAMISU COLLAGEN PROTEIN BARS
Chief’s Tiramisu Collagen Protein Bars are the star ingredient in this granola, adding a delicious tiramisu flavour alongside a boost of protein and collagen. The protein helps provide the amino acids your body needs for muscle repair and maintenance, while the collagen supports connective tissue, skin and overall structural health. Chopped through the granola, they add little pockets of chewy, chocolatey tiramisu goodness to every bite.

CHIEF DARK CHOCOLATE COLLAGEN PROTEIN
Chief’s Dark Chocolate Collagen Protein brings the rich chocolate element to this granola without needing to add cacao. It provides an extra boost of protein and collagen, while adding that deep, chocolatey flavour that makes this granola taste more like dessert than breakfast.

HEMP SEEDS
Hemp seeds are a wonderful source of plant-based protein, healthy fats and minerals. They add a little extra protein and fibre to the granola, while their healthy fats help make breakfast more satisfying and nourishing.

ROLLED OATS
Rolled oats provide slow-digesting carbohydrates and fibre, helping to support steady energy and keep you feeling satisfied throughout the morning. They also provide beta-glucan, a type of soluble fibre that supports healthy cholesterol levels and gut health.

PEPITAS
Pepitas are a great source of plant-based protein, healthy fats and important minerals like magnesium and zinc. They add a satisfying crunch while supporting energy production, muscle function and overall nourishment.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic rolled oats 
  • 2 Chief Nutrition’s Tiramisu Collagen Bars: Roughly chopped 
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (we used pecans, almonds and pepitas)
  • ¼ cup hemp seeds 
  • 2 tbsp Chief Nutrition Dark Chocolate Collagen Protein 
  • ¼ cup organic extra virgin olive oil 
  • ¼ cup organic raw honey 
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence 
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add your oats, chopped nuts, hemp seeds, collagen protein and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add in the olive oil and honey and mix thoroughly until the mixture is coated evenly. (You can also heat these two together on the stove top over low heat to create an almost ‘honey’ caramel and make it more sticky!)
  4. Press the mixture onto the baking tray, pressing firmly with the back of a spatula until it’s evenly distributed.
  5. Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes (or until golden).
  6. Leave to cool for 30 minutes (the longer you leave it to cool, the bigger the chunks of granola). Then fold through your chopped up Tiramisu Chief Collagen Bars.
  7. Dig in and enjoy!

To Serve

  1. Use the granola in breakfast bowls, on top of smoothies or as a crumb for desserts!

Storage

  1. This lasts well in an airtight container in the cupboard for up to 3 weeks.
