Homemade granola is easier to make than you might think! And it’s especially great because you get to control the quality of ingredients (especially the sugar content). This recipe calls for honey, which you can easily sub out for maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown rice syrup.
Peanut Butter Granola
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter (I used Better n’ Peanut Butter)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (Maple Syrup or any alternative is fine)
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 cup Oats
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray the cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. Combine peanut butter and honey in a bowl and microwave until peanut butter melts (approximately 20 seconds). Stir.
3. Stir cinnamon and vanilla into the peanut butter and honey mixture.
4. Add oats and stir until oats are completely covered in a peanut butter mixture.
5. Spread out the oat mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 7 – 8 minutes until the granola is slightly browned.
6. Let cool until granola is crunchy.
Keep in mind that this is not a superhero breakfast. For me, this would be a dessert… a nice occasional treat!
