This peanut butter granola is my granola of alternative because the seasons change. If mornings are chilly sufficient to want a sweater, the selfmade granola I’m baking is getting an additional layer as nicely. On this case that additional layer is a heat combination of peanut butter and maple syrup accented with lemon zest. Mix this with a bowl of old style oats, and the granola it kinds whereas baking develops a peanut-centric, powdery smooth coating. Cashmere and crunchy clusters. So good.

The ingredient listing is brief, and consists of things you may have already got in your pantry – oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, lemon, vanilla extract. It’s not loads of effort, you’ll be able to bake a double batch, and also you’ll doubtless be means forward on price in comparison with store-bought granolas which might be tremendous expensive.

A Couple Suggestions
There are a pair issues I pay shut consideration to when making this granola. I’m calling them out right here, earlier than you get down into the recipe, for emphasis.
- Mixing issues: First, you need to combine the oats and peanut butter coating *actually* nicely. Stir, stir, after which stir some extra. This fashion you get a uniform granola that may bake extra evenly.
- No blond granola: For this granola (and most granolas, actually) to be really nice you want it toasted. I’d reasonably over-bake this granola versus underbake. Go for golden edges, and stir the granola at the least as soon as to provide a few of the middle an opportunity to toast out close to the perimeters.

I need to do a pistachio butter model, however must identify it Millionaires’ granola. The final small jar I purchased was $25 – price each penny, however to date it has been reserved for having fun with by the spoonful straight from the jar.
