Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)
- 0.33 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and salt. If using chopped peanuts, add them now and stir to distribute evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, gently heat the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil until melted and easy to mix. Stir until smooth.
Remove the melted mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir well until all the oats are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, pressing down slightly for clumps if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. If you prefer chunkier granola, avoid stirring.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the pan. It will harden as it cools.
Once cooled, add mini chocolate chips (if using) and gently stir to combine.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
