Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp flax seed
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey/maple syrup/agave nectar
  • 1/4 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (dark) (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cashews) (optional)

Directions

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease foil with oil.

STEP 2
In a large mixing bowl, mix oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, flax seed and sea salt and set a side.

STEP 3
In a pan, add peanut butter, honey (sweetener of your choice) and vanilla extract and heat on low heat until warm and smooth.

STEP 4
Remove from heat and pour over the oats mixture and stir until evenly distributed. If it appears too wet, you can add more oats.

STEP 5
Spread the peanut butter granola evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown. Watch closely as it tends to brown quickly. You can take them out even after 15 minutes if they’re well baked.

STEP 6
Remove from the oven and let cool until it reaches at room temperature. You can add the chopped nuts or chocolate chips here if you like!

STEP 7
Store in air tight container for 3 weeks and you can freeze later.

Notes

  • You can store it for about 3 weeks and can freeze after that.
  • You can eat with milk of your choice and sliced bananas and strawberries.
