Homemade Peanut Butter Granola
A simple and crunchy granola recipe that brings together the classic flavors of creamy peanut butter and sweet honey.
dailyrecipesbook.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of homemade granola baking in your oven. This peanut butter version is a family favorite because it creates those perfect crunchy clusters that are so much better than anything you can buy at the store.
My biggest tip for this recipe is to let the granola cool down completely on the baking sheet before you move it. This allows the honey and peanut butter to firm up so you get those nice big chunks everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- 4
Place the rolled oats into a large mixing bowl and pour the peanut butter mixture over them. Stir well until all the oats are evenly coated.
- 5
Spread the oat mixture out in an even layer on your prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
- 7
Remove the pan from the oven and let the granola cool completely without stirring it. This helps form the clusters.
- 8
Once the granola is cold, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and store in an airtight container.
๐ก Tips
Store your granola in an airtight glass jar to keep it crunchy for up to two weeks. You can serve this over greek yogurt, with a splash of cold milk, or just eat it by the handful as a quick snack.
