Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, protein powder, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.

Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oil. Once mixed, add half of the white chocolate chips and stir again until everything is well combined.

Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to press it down into an even layer. This helps the granola to clump together as it bakes.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining white chocolate chips on top. The heat from the granola will melt the chips slightly, creating delicious pockets of sweetness. Let the granola cool completely.

Once cooled, break the granola into pieces. If you like, you can add a few more white chocolate chips for extra indulgence. Store the granola in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.
