Homemade Peanut Butter Granola

My quest for the perfect homemade granola is officially over! This peanut butter version is everything I’ve ever dreamed of – crispy, nutty, and bursting with creamy peanut butter flavor. It’s so easy to whip up, you barely need to turn on the oven (only for 20 minutes!). Plus, the melty brown sugar and honey add a subtle sweetness that makes it impossible to stop at just a handful. Each bite has the BEST texture. Crunchy oats, pops of salty peanuts, and chewy clusters held together by that glorious peanut butter mixture. Top your yogurt with a generous sprinkle, add it to smoothies for a protein boost, or crumble it over warm fruit for a healthier version of cobbler. This peanut butter granola is so versatile, it’s basically begging to be devoured in a million different ways. I know you’ll love it as much as I do!

Ingredient List

Not only does this recipe for peanut butter granola use simple ingredients, but a lot of them can be swapped out for things you have on hand! You can also add in other mix-ins, check out the tips section below!

Old-Fashioned Oats: These are the base, providing a satisfying chew and that classic granola texture. Quick-cooking oats work too, but for larger clusters, stick with the originals. Peanuts: Salty and crunchy, these add a delightful contrast to the sweetness. Sunflower seeds, pepitas, or even chopped almonds would also work for a different twist. Cinnamon: This warm spice is a must-add. Dash of Salt: Salt enhances all the other flavors and makes the granola even more tempting. Melted Peanut Butter: The star of the show! Creamy or chunky, it adds richness and binds everything together. Just warm it up before mixing it in. Melted Coconut Oil: This helps create those perfectly crisp clusters. Brown Sugar: Adds a touch of golden sweetness and caramelized depth. Maple syrup or more honey work too, depending on your preference. Honey: Adds sweetness and helps to hold the clusters together. Vanilla Extract: So your peanut butter granola has an extra touch of flavor.
