Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (all natural)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup*
- 2 Tbsp almond milk
- 1/3 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl combine raw oats, cinnamon, peanuts and golden raisins.
- In a skillet over medium heat combine peanut butter, maple syrup and almond milk. Continually stir until mixture is melted and has come together. It should create a thick syrup texture.
- Pour mixture into dry oats and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Place granola mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and evenly spread out. Try not to leave the granola in big chunks, unevenly spread out. It is important to lay out the oats without crumpling together to ensure a good crunch.
- Sprinkle sea salt over oats and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Flip oats and cook another 10 minutes. Cook for 10-15 more minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until oats are golden brown. It is important to check and stir the oats through cooking time to ensure even cooking and avoid burning.
- Once granola has reached a golden brown color and is done, allow to cool for atleast 15 minutes. (This is the hardest part!) It is vital the granola is allowed time to cool that way the clusters can harden and create a yummy crunch!
- Store in a jar or glass container at room temperature. Serving size varies, this amount typically lasts a week in my house between two people! Enjoy 🙂
- Also feel free to stir in chocolate chips once granola is done cooling for a sweet treat!
Notes
I have used a mixture of brown rice syrup and maple syrup (2 Tbsp each) and have really liked that version. I have also done a mix of maple syrup and honey, which also produced great results. Simply maple syrup is delicious too, the recipe is very versatile!
