Description
This Peanut Butter Granola recipe is healthy, crunchy and packed with big peanut butter flavor. There isn't much better than making a batch of homemade granola then enjoying it for breakfasts and snacks all through the week. We love a good meal prep recipe like this granola.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup lightly salted dry roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- freeze-dried fruit, dried cherries, raisins, coconut and/or chocolate chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, oil and cinnamon together in a large bowl until smooth. Add oats, peanuts and sunflower seeds and stir with a spoon or spatula until well combined. Be sure to continue stirring until the oats are completely coated in the peanut butter mixture.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake until the granola is dried, toasty and slightly browned, 45-50 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve with fruit, coconut or chocolate chips, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover granola in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 5 days at room temperature.
- Use any light oil, like vegetable, canola, melted coconut or even a lite olive oil.
- Once cooked, stir in your favorite mix-ins, like dried fruit, coconut, pecans or walnuts, or chocolate chips.
- Using a sheet of parchment paper makes for easy cleanup, plus, you can use the sheet to easily transfer the granola to a mason jar.
