Making granola at home is a simple and easy alternative to buying store bought brands. It also gives you the freedom of selecting your own flavors, and skipping any refined sweeteners and poor quality oils which is why I’m a big fan of homemade granola. I’m pretty simple when it comes to flavors, and I always love including some type of nuts for an added crunch. This recipe includes dark chocolate covered almonds which are sooo yummy!
I’m a big peanut butter lover so this recipe was chosen so I can get my daily dose of spread in a tasty way. Most of the ingredients are pantry essentials and the bittersweet chocolate chunks do just the trick to add sweetness without the need for refined sugar. There’s really no better crunch than granola that’s been drizzled with that gooey peanut-y spread!
Recipe
6 cups rolled oats
1/cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
your favorite peanut butter
1 bar of bittersweet dark chocolate with almonds
Salt to taste
Method
Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees
In a large mixing bowl pour in the oats, and liquids and combine till incorporated
Prep your peanut butter, if it is not liquid form, microwave it for 5-10 second increments till it melts down, checking to make sure you don’t overheat it
Pour the oat mixture onto a baking tray and drizzle the peanut butter on top covering as much granola as you prefer
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove and fully let the tray cool. This will help the granola stay together and form crunchy bits.
In the meantime, prep the chocolate. With a large kitchen knife chop the bar into bite-size chunks.
Once the granola has cooled down in a large mixing bowl combine the granola and chocolate and add salt to taste. Enjoy!
