RECIPE: Peanut Butter Cinnamon Granola
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
3 cups of old fashioned rolled oats (here’s the kind I buy in bulk, but use whatever makes you happy!)
1 cup mixture of unsalted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sliced almonds
a splash of cinnamon (or a hefty shake if you want to live a little)
3 tsp honey (optional- tastes great without it, too!)
4 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup peanut butter- stick it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften
1/2 cup coconut oil- also needs to be softened justttt a bit
an oven, preferably one larger than my miniature oven, set to 350.
*The secret to this stuff is to mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately before combining them*
Spread mixture over a non-stick pan and stick in the oven for 5 minutes
STIR and fluff with fork at the end of the 5 minutes- this will prevent the stuff from sticking to the pan and burning
Stick it back in the oven for another 6 minutes
D O N E
Serve over yogurt, in a smoothie bowl, or in your hands. Enjoy!
Store in an air-tight container. Today I added raw cacao nibs for additional fun and excitement.
