Equipment
- oven
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- medium saucepan
- mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup pure olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, and 1/4 cup pure olive oil. Warm over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until evenly incorporated.
- Place 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir thoroughly with a rubber spatula until every oat is coated and glossy.
- Spread the oat mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, using the spatula to press it down lightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and smells nutty and toasted.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet without disturbing it. As it cools, it will become crisp and form clusters.
- Once completely cool, break the granola into desired-sized pieces with your hands or a spoon. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet without disturbing it to form crisp clusters.
