Homeamde Peanut Butter Granola

     I love peanut butter and I love granola, so it was really a no-brainer to put the two together! Peanut butter granola, homemade, in your own kitchen for you to enjoy and share with your friends and family! I've always said that making food at home is the best choice, and often, the yummier choice! Homemade granola is delicious, but adding peanut butter to it makes it irresistible!

     This peanut butter granola is really easy to make and only takes a few ingredients! You will never believe that this delicious granola is vegan, refined sugar free, and ( if you use certified gluten free oats) gluten free!

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups Oats
1/3 cup Peanut Butter (or any nut butter of choice)
1/3 cup Maple Syrup ( Or honey if you aren't vegan)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla


 See how simple the recipe is!? You probably already have these ingredients in your house, so you have no reason not to make homemade granola! Lets get started!

     First, mix your peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla together. It may help to warm the peanut butter up, to make it easier to mix. Resist the urge to eat this straight out of the bowl! :)

 

     Doesn't it look like caramel? Hmm.....Caramel granola, I'll have to try that one out! :) But, back to the peanut butter granola....

Add in your oats and mix until all the oats are covered.

     Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle the raw granola on the pan. Make sure to break up any large clumps, but small clumps are okay!

     Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes, or until all the oats are toasty brown and your house smells like peanut butter cookies! Be sure to stir the granola every 10 minutes, to prevent burning and to help evenly toast everything!

     When they are done, remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving or storing. When storing granola, I like to use a air-tight container or zip-lock bag to keep it fresh. It can also go in the freezer to make your granola last even longer! :)

 

     Isn't it beautiful! I love to eat it by the handful as a snack, or on smoothie bowls for breakfast! My family likes granola on yogurt and its delicious on oatmeal. I even think it would be good on some chocolate coconut ice cream!

    Peanut butter granola is the perfect thing to make if you want something satisfying and sweet, yet still healthy and full of protein and fiber! Eating healthy doesn't have to taste bland and boring, it can be delicious and exciting!
