Peanut Butter Granola

5 from 1 vote
An easy 5-ingredient peanut butter granola that's just the right amounts of sweet, savory, salty, and also slightly addicting. Nut-free option.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • cup raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, ground flax seeds, and salt.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, melt together the peanut butter and honey. Add in the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl with oats until well-combined and then press it onto a lined rimmed baking sheet using a rubber spatula.
  • Bake the granola for 25-28 minutes, gently flipping it halfway through. Let it cool completely before breaking the granola apart. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • No peanut butter? cashew butter works well because it has a similar natural sweetness, but you can also use almond butter or any other type you have
  • Nut-free? sunbutter or tahini or try my maple tahini granola
  • No flaxseeds? sub chia seeds (no need to grind them)
  • No raw honey? use maple syrup
  • Gluten-free? make sure to use certified gluten-free oats, my favorites are Bob’s Red Mill or One Degree sprouted oats
