Wildly Addictive Peanut Butter Granola
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 1/4 c. oats1/2 c. flour1/2 t. baking soda1 t. pure vanilla3 to 5 Tablespoons vegetable oil1/3 c. peanut butter (or other nut butter)1/4 c. brown sugarAdd-ins (I usually don't use add-ins): 1/2 c. mini choc. chip morsels, 1 c. mixed peanut butter and choc chip morsels, 1 c. choc chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together the oats, flour, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Add the vegetable oil and peanut butter and mix. The mixture will be a bit chunky.
4. Stir in the brown sugar.
5. Stir in chosen add-ins. The mixture will be a bit moist from the oil and peanut butter, but overall it should be rather dry and chunky. Spoon the granola into a square 8-inch cake pan.
6. Bake the granola for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 10 min. in the pan, and then dig in! Before storing, allow granola to cool completely in the pan and then store it at room temp. in a tightly sealed container. This granola will keep for at least a week. But, it won't last that long before it gets eaten.

I made this tonight and it's very tasty! I added coconut and raisins, as well as extra vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I accidentally baked it on a flat pan instead of a cake pan, and it turned out rather moist. I let it set for 10 minutes, as per the instructions and it crispied up. Very hearty. - 5/10/10

This is making my mouth water! But I checked into making it with Splenda Brown Sugar blend...are you aware that it actually has more calories than brown sugar itself??? I just checked the packages - I was floored! Either way - I HAVE to try your recipe - it sounds TOO scrumptious! - 6/15/09

Thank you so much for pointing that out. No. I didn't know that it actually has more calories than regular brown sugar. I like regular brown sugar anyway, so I'm going to make an adjustment to my recipe.

This is such a huge hit in my house that I have to double the batch to have enough to get through the week. I also measured it out to make sure what the serving sizes were and by my calculation as is in the recipe the serving size is a cup! Love this! Thanks so much for sharing! - 2/26/12

Amazing! Only problem was I mistakenly thought this was for granola BARS. Still delicious, though! Great alone or with a quarter cup of skim milk. I added 1 tbsp of honey, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp of wheat germ, and used whole wheat flour. Next time I'll try substituting applesauce for the oil. - 2/3/11

I've never seen a granola recipe that has flour in it,and using oil AND peanut butter seems like too much fat.
360 calories per serving - without any of the add-ins - is a lot for a snack. That's more than a typical candy bar. Either reduce the serving size, or use lower fat ingredients. - 5/25/18
