Peanut Butter Chia Granola

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: About 10 1/2 cups of granola 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry ingredients:

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 2 1/2 cups mixed nuts and seeds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup dried coconut

For the peanut butter sauce:

  • 1/2 of a ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup flaxmeal
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 Tablespoons grass fed butter or coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix-ins (optional):

  • 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips, golden raisins, chopped apricots or other dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with silicon baking mat or spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients until well mixed.
  3. In a separate smaller bowl, add the peanut butter sauce ingredients and give it a quick stir. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until everything is well mixed and melted. Microwave another 30 seconds if needed and stir again. Drizzle the sauce over the nut/oat mixture in the large bowl, a bit at a time, stirring to coat all the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
  4. Bake for 1 – 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and nicely toasted. Let cool completely, then stir in 1 – 1 1/2 cups of any mix-ins you’d like such as raisins, chopped dried fruit or mini chocolate chips.

Notes

Make this granola gluten free by using gluten free oats.

Don’t skip out on the coconut! Once the coconut flakes are toasted, they transform into a whole different thing altogether. SO good!
