This recipe uses common just 6 common ingredients that I'm sure you already have at home in your pantry! These granola clusters are the best for snacking or topping to your yogurt bowl in the morning.
1 ½cupold-fashioned oats, (use certified gluten-free if needed)
¼cupcreamy peanut butter, I like Smucker's Natural Creamy PB
¼cuphoney
2tspcinnamon
1tspvanilla
¼tspkosher salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Evenly press mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. I find it easiest to flatten with a rubber spatula. Make sure you press it thin to get it crispy!
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely before you break it up! This will allow those big, crunchy clusters to form.
Notes
IMPORTANT! Let the granola cool COMPLETELY before you touch it if you want it to break up into big clusters! I know it's tempting!
Maple syrup can be substituted for honey as the sweetener, but honey is what helps the granola stick together and break into big clusters.
Store granola in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
