This peanut butter granola is wholesome, crunchy, and packed with rich nutty flavor. Made with simple pantry staples, it bakes into golden crisp clusters that are perfect for breakfast, snacking, or sprinkling over yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional, added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and coconut oil until smooth and easy to stir.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and chopped peanuts if using.
  5. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, pressing down lightly to encourage clusters.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes. Stir once halfway through for a looser texture, or leave undisturbed for larger clusters.
  8. Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet until crisp.
  9. Once cooled, stir in chocolate chips or dried fruit if desired.

Notes

  • Press the granola firmly and avoid stirring during baking for larger clusters.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to make the recipe vegan.
  • Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or shredded coconut for extra texture.
  • Ensure the granola cools completely before storing to maintain crispness.
  • Refresh softened granola in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–8 minutes.
