You gently heat a mixture of peanut butter and maple syrup along with a couple other ingredients into a beautiful molten mixture that will have you licking the pan. Pour this mixture over your oats and peanuts and bake into golden-edged clusters.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/peanut-butter-granola-4.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"a mixing bowl filled with granola ingredients and a large spoon\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A Couple Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are a couple things I pay close attention to when making this granola. I\u2019m calling them out here, before you get down into the recipe, for emphasis. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Mixing matters<\/span>: First, you want to mix the oats and peanut butter coating *really* well. Stir, stir, and then stir some more. This way you get a uniform granola that will bake more evenly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">No blond granola<\/span>: For this granola (and most granolas, really) to be truly great you need it toasted. I\u2019d rather over-bake this granola versus underbake. Go for golden edges, and stir the granola at least once to give some of the center a chance to toast out near the edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/peanut-butter-granola-5.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"granola spread across a baking sheet prior to baking\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>Well mixed granola before baking (above). And nicely toasted granola after baking (below).<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/peanut-butter-granola-2.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"clumps of peanut butter granola on a rimmed baking sheet\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Variations &amp; Ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I&#8217;ve included the recipe down below, it&#8217;s a great base recipe for peanut butter granola, but keep in mind you can use it to explore all sorts of other ideas and variations! For example: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Experiment with other nut butters<\/span>: Of the nut butters, I prefer the strong flavor of peanut butter, but almond butter is another option especially if you or someone close to you has a peanut allergy. I want to do a pistachio butter version, but would have to name it Millionaires\u2019 granola. The last small jar I bought was $25 &#8211; worth every penny, but so far it has been reserved for enjoying by the spoonful straight from the jar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Add boosters<\/span>:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You can add nutritional boosters here and\/or spices. Adding a couple tablespoons of chia or hemp seeds to the oat mixture is one option. Adding a tablespoon of curry powder to granola is another favorite flavor boost.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Gluten Free Peanut Butter Granola<\/span>: use gluten-free oats and follow the recipe as written.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Use granola in baking<\/span>: Mix a couple cups of clumps of peanut butter granola into your next batch of chocolate chip cookies, or shortbread.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/peanut-butter-granola-7.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"peanut butter granola topping yogurt in a ceramic bowl\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Peanut butter granola served over Greek yogurt with a drizzle of maple syrup and some crushed freeze-dried raspberries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">More Breakfast Recipes<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/perfect-healthy-granola-recipe\/\">Perfect Healthy Granola<\/a> (Chocolate)<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/baked-oatmeal-cups\/\">Baked Oatmeal Cups<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/better-breakfast-cereal-recipe\/\">Better Breakfast Cereal<\/a><\/li>\n<li>all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/breakfast_brunch\">breakfast recipes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Continue reading <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/peanut-butter-granola\/\">Peanut Butter Granola<\/a> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\">101 Cookbooks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This peanut butter granola is my granola of choice as the seasons change.
