Peanut Butter Granola
This high protein vegan peanut butter granola has a classic peanut butter cookie flavor - but it's healthy & hearty. Plus, it’s got plenty of clusters & peanuts - the signature of all the best granolas.
Ingredients
- 3 cups oats
- ¾ cups roasted peanuts
- ¾ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder
- ⅔ cup peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° f.
- In a large bowl, mix together oats & maple syrup. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, melt coconut oil & mix with protein powder, vanilla, and salt. Mix this with the oats.
- Add in peanut butter & nuts. Mix well.
- Pour out mixture on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pan should be large enough so the granola is in a thin layer. If it is too thick, your granola will be soft instead of crunchy.
- Press down granola to get it all to stick together
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Stir/flip the granola. Press down the granola again with the back of your spatula.
- Bake for another 15-20 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes
- Bake for a total of 30 - 40 minutes
- After 25 minutes I like to take out a bit of the granola to test doneness. If your granola is mostly dry and it's crunchy to your liking (after it has cooled), your granola is done!
Notes
Pressing down the granola on the pan before baking is one of the keys to getting those clusters, we all want in granola. It really helps get all the ingredients to stick together while baking.
