Special Equipment

- Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread slightly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes.

Notes
Make ahead tip: Granola is a perfect make-ahead recipe because it stays fresh for a while. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
1. If you prefer larger chunks in your granola, be gentle when stirring while baking.
2. The best peanut butter to use is a natural creamy brand. Depending on the brand that you use, you may need to cut back the honey and/or maple syrup for sweetness.
