Peanut Butter Granola

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins | Total: 45 mins | Quantity: 10-20 portions

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (300g) rolled oats
  • 2 tblsp chia seeds
  • 1 tblsp flax seeds
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (35g) pecan nuts
  • ¼ cup (35g) cashew nuts
  • ¼ cup (35g) peanuts
  • 1 tblsp organic coconut oil
  • ½ cup (125g) peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60g) maple or agave syrup
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (100g) dairy free dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and cut a sheet of greaseproof to fit 1 large or 2 smaller baking trays, or use silicone mats
  2. Put the oats, chia seeds, flax seeds and cinnamon in a large bowl
  3. Roughly chop the nuts (see note) then add to the oat mixture and stir together
  4. In a microwave or saucepan gently melt together the oil, peanut butter, vanilla and syrup until smooth and runny
  5. Pour this into the oats and mix well - you really want to try and coat all the oats and nuts with the syrupy mixture - then tip onto your tray(s) spreading out to the edges
  6. Cook for 15 minutes, stir and cook for a further 15 minutes.  Leave to cool completely before storing or stirring through the chocolate chips if using
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few weeks

Notes

  • I've listed some nuts you can use in the ingredients but feel free to mix it up - combinations of lots of nuts or just one type all work great!
