I know I have mentioned this multiple times, but I love finding delicious and healthy snacks! And if you are a peanut butter lover like I am, you will like this one.
It’s super easy to slap together and you can enjoy it almost right away.
I also think this recipe would be pretty versatile. You could make this into a trail mix, adding some dried fruit or nuts. You could also use almond butter instead of PB.
Not only is this a clean recipe, but it could also be a gluten free recipe. Throw some gluten free oats in there and you’ve got a cheap and easy gluten free granola!
Peanut Butter Granola (adapted from Peanut Butter Fingers)
4 Tbsp natural peanut butter
4 Tbsp raw honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I make my own)
2 cups old fashioned oats
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Either spray a cookies sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave for about 30 seconds, or until peanut butter melts.
Add cinnamon and vanilla; mix well.
Stir in the oats until they are completely covered in peanut butter mixture.
Spread oat mixture out on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake about 12-15 minutes, or until granola is slightly browned.
Let cool.
Granola will become crunchy as it cools.
I put this in some Coconut Milk Chocolate yogurt and it was so yummy! I think it will taste good in all my flavored yogurt!
Educate me… how is “raw honey” different from a bottle of the regular stuff? (As in, can I sub the regular stuff and be fine? Or do I need to adjust the amount?)
no, using the regular stuff should be fine. Raw honey is suppose to have more health benefits that the other, only because it’s less processed. It has a little different taste as well. But really, either should be fine 🙂
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
I love peanut butter and i make granola every week. it’s my breakfast of choice. This looks SO good!
Peanut butter is a huge staple in our house. And this tastes good in all the flavors of yogurt I’ve tried so far 🙂
