Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 1/3 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Add the oats, ground flaxseed, chopped peanuts, and salt. Stir well.
- Spread oat mixture onto baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer pan to cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature. Add the chocolate chips. (You can also add dried fruit like raisins at this point if you'd like.) Store in airtight containers.
Notes
- Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper so that your granola doesn’t stick to the pan. This also helps make chunkier granola.
- Allow your granola to cool completely on the pan before breaking it apart and transferring to a storage container.
- Granola will crisp up as it cools.
- Store cooked granola in an airtight container in the pantry for up to a month.
