    Peanut Butter Granola Ingredients

    • Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats make up the bulk of the dry ingredients. I don't recommend quick or instant oats— the texture of whole oats helps the granola stick together. If gluten free, be sure to use certified gluten free oats like these.
    • Peanut Butter: Any type of creamy peanut butter can be used— if you're using a natural peanut, make sure you stir it very well before using.
    • Coconut Oil: Using melted coconut oil helps give the granola crunch while binding it together.
    • Honey: Not only does the honey help bind the ingredients together, but it also helps add flavor and sweetness.
    • Maple Syrup: I tested this granola without the maple syrup and it
    • Vanilla: Adds flavor.
    • Cinnamon: Adds flavor.
    • Salt: Just a pinch of salt helps bring out the flavor.
    • Peanuts: The peanuts add addition crunch and flavor. I like to use halved peanuts for the size, but roughly chopping the peanuts keeps everything about the same size.
    • Chocolate Chips: These are optional but adds a little extra to the granola.

    How To Make Peanut Butter Granola

    Just a few steps, 5 minutes prep, start to finish 40 minutes to homemade granola.

    1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut oil, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Add the oats, cinnamon, salt, and peanuts. Fold together until combined— making sure that all the oats are coated evenly.
    3. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring gently halfway through. If you want less clusters, stir gently every 10 minutes.
    4. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes on the baking sheet— as the granola cools. The granola will get crunchier as it sits. Once completely cooled, stir in the chocolate chips. Cover tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

    Success Tip: Don’t Crowd the Baking Sheet

    Prior to baking, the peanut butter granola is very vet. In order for it to bake properly and become crunchy, the granola needs some breathing room otherwise it will steam. Depending on the size of your baking sheet— I use a half sheet baking sheet and it works perfectly, otherwise I recommend using 2 to give the granola plenty of room.

    Best Ways To Serve Granola

    There's a handful of ways that you can eat granola— here's a few ideas.

    • Over Yogurt: Add 1/4 cup overtop of your favorite yogurt with some fruit.
    • With Milk: Toss it in a bowl and add some cold milk.
    • Over Oatmeal: To add a little crunch to oatmeal, sprinkle some overtop.
    • Parfait: Layer in a jar yogurt, fruit, and granola.
    • From the Bag: Skip everything else, grab the bag and dig in.
