Peanut butter granola is the perfect salty & sweet topping for your next yogurt parfait. Filled with peanut butter and peanuts, lightly sweetened with honey. Perfect for breakfast or midday snacking.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add oats and peanuts. Stir to combine, then set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add peanut butter and honey. Stir until peanut butter is melted and ingredients are incorporated (or, carefully heat in the microwave until warm and melted). Remove from heat, add vanilla and salt, stirring to combine. Pour over dry ingredients. Toss until evenly coated.
Pour mixture onto lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on baking sheet. Granola will continue to harden as it cools. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Old fashioned oats are highly recommended, but can be substituted with quick cook oats. They'll take less time to cook because they're thinner - about 20 minutes.
One serving = about ½ heaping cup of granola
Honey can be substituted with maple syrup.
If using salted peanuts, you may want to reduce the amount of salt by half.
Homemade granola will keep for about 2 weeks in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. Or, frozen for up to 3 months.
