Let's just call it like it is. Granola is a gift from the heavens.
It has a perfect crunch, it's sweet, and it's super versatile.
But if you get granola from the grocery store, it'll have a ton of extra sugar added in.
And making your own is such a chore, right?
Wrongo!
This granola has a total of 3 ingredients (all of which you probably already have in your pantry anyway), is a snap to make, and it won't give you a sugar coma, but will still satisfy your sweet tooth.
Plus your house will smell like delicious peanut butter goodness. Who wouldn't want that?
MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, THE EASIEST PEANUT BUTTER GRANOLA!
Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 30 mins
Makes about 3 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of oats (best to use old fashioned, but you could use any really)
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 180 celcius
- Place oats in a large bowl
- In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Pour over the oats and stir until well combined (at this stage, you can keep it as is, or add whatever else you want... a little sea salt, cinnamon, dark chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, or dried fruit are all great options)
- Spread the oats evenly onto the baking sheet
- Bake for 15 minutes, stir, then bake for another 15 minutes. or until granola is slightly golden brown
- Remove (don't stir when you take it out) and let cool completely on the baking sheet
- Store in an air tight container for up to 1 month (like it'll last that long)
