Optional
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the oats, puffed rice, vanilla protein powder and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk together. Add lemon zest, if desired.
Melt the coconut oil and add to the bowl of dry ingredients. Add the syrup and stir together so everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola onto a parchment lined baking sheet so that there are no large clumps, leaving a lot of spaces between the granola. This will help it dry out while baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, remove and mix up the granola. Place back in the oven for 2-6 minutes, checking every couple minutes to ensure you do not burn the granola and remove once it is dry and crumbly.
Let the granola cool completely on the sheetpan to dry out before crumbling into bite size pieces.
