5 Minute Granola Breakfast (30g protein, 16g fiber)

I get it – breakfast is one of the hardest meals of the day. Especially if you’re trying to prioritize both fiber and protein. 

This recipe is adapted from one of the granola recipes in my ADHD cookbook with Kathryn Cassady “The Eat to Focus Cookbook.” If you have the print or eBook, you can make those variations as well.

I love this recipe since it takes nearly no time to make in the morning while hitting my protein and fiber needs. You can also make a bunch of the granola at once – just make many batches and refrigerate! Those taste best when you use the recipe found in the cookbook.

You can add any additional ingredients you’d like: I enjoy adding dried fruit, cinnamon, cardamom, and fresh fruit on top. To make the yogurt taste better, sometimes I will add a tiny bit of jam to flavor it. However, the granola is sweet enough itself most days!
