Healthy Peanut Butter Granola

old-fashioned (or quick cooking oats*)

cinnamon

sea salt

peanut butter

honey

½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a large cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together oats, salt and cinnamon. Set aside

In a microwave safe dish or on the stovetop, melt the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) together until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Stir in dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Spread mixture on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until granola is lightly browned, stirring the granola once gently half way through. (A great way to test for doneness is to remove a small portion of the granola from the pan and set it on the counter. If it hardens as it cools the rest of the granola is done)!

Remove from oven and let sit until cooled.

Once cooled, break apart and eat!

Healthy Homemade Granola

oats (old fashioned or quick oats

whole wheat flour flour

salt

melted coconut oil

cup honey

vanilla extract

chopped nuts or seed

fruit

unsweetened coconut flakes

chocolate chips (add after it bakes and cools, and probably not more than a cup of them total)

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line a big cookie sheet with parchment and grease lightly.

In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, salt, and cinnamon if using, stir to combine.

In a small bowl whisk together the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Mix everything together making sure there are no dry spots.

Add any additions you would like and stir to combine.

Spread granola onto the prepared cookie sheet in an even layer. The pan will be nice and full. Bake for 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool, it will be a deep golden color. 

Once the granola has cooled break it into smaller pieces as you see fit (we like some chunky and eat it like a cookie and some we break up small in our bowls for cold cereal). 

Store in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge if you aren&#8217;t going through it very quickly.

Healthy homemade granola with hints of vanilla and mint and studded with dairy free chocolate chips! This Mint Chocolate Chip Granola has big crunchy clusters, is gluten free and oil free, and is loved by adults and kids alike!

Mint Chocolate Chip Healthy Homemade Granola

old fashioned rolled oats ((gluten free, if desired))

crispy brown rice cereal

cocoa powder

tsp salt

maple syrup

tsp pure vanilla extract

tsp mint extract ((1.5 tsp

dairy free chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, brown rice cereal, cocoa powder, and salt.

In a small measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, vanilla, and mint extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir really well, scraping the bottom of the bowl, to make sure everything is well moistened.&nbsp;

Pour the granola onto a large rimmed baking sheet into one compact even layer. Pat it down, but don't spread it out too much - you don't want gaps in between.&nbsp;

Bake for 30 minutes. I like to turn my pan around in the oven at the 20 minute mark to ensure even cooking since our oven does have some hot spots. But, DO NOT STIR during the cooking time.*

Let it cool on the pan for about 10 minutes and then break into clumps.

Add the chocolate chips and gently stir to distribute them throughout.

Store any leftovers, completely cooled, in an air-tight glass jar on the counter. It will keep for 3-5 days, although it never lasts that long in our house!

Easy Stovetop Granola Recipe

Measure out ingredients and have ready to add. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt coconut oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add oats and cook, while stirring and spreading even almost constantly, until oats are slightly toasty and crisp (just lightly deepening in color), about 4 to 6 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in honey and salt. Stir right away.

Let cook, while stirring and spreading even constantly, until just starting to turn lightly golden, about 1 minute.

Add pecans and coconut and cook mixture just until barely golden brown, about 1 minute longer.

Immediately pour and spread over parchment on baking sheet, press down using spatula til you get clusters.

If you&#39;d like it to set faster chill in fridge or freezer about 5 minutes until cool and crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer shelf life.

Bake for 20 minutes, stir, and then press granola into an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes more until granola becomes light golden brown.

Homemade Healthy Granola

coconut

raisins

cranberries

almonds

pecan nuts

pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

sea salt flakes

oranges

unsalted butter

golden syrup

Preheat oven to 130°C.

Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with baking paper (half sheet measurement)

Add rolled oats, coconut, raisins, cranberries, almonds, pecan nuts, pepitas, salt and orange zest to a large bowl.

Add butter, maple syrup and golden syrup to a small saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 5-6 minutes until butter has completely melted. Mix well.

Add the butter mixture to the bowl with the oat mixture. Mix thoroughly until the butter mixture coats everything evenly.

Tip the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet (half-sheet sized / 46cm X 33cm / 18 in X 13 in). Spread evenly to completely cover the baking sheet with the granola mixture. Press down on the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula and compact it (this step is very important if you want chunks of granola)

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the tray to rest in the warm oven for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool the granola completely in the tray. This takes about an 1-2 hours.

Once cooled, granola will be crispy and dry and you will be able to break it into clusters. Store granola in a large air-tight container in a cool corner of your kitchen for up to 4 or 5 weeks.

If I could bottle the smell of this granola or turn it into a candle (might be onto something here...) I might become the richest woman in the world. I am so excited to share this incredibly delicious new flavour with you. I love pecans. I think they might be my favourite nut to bake with. There is something magical that happens when pecans are roasted that no other nut can compare to. I could eat them straight off the pan with no seasoning or sweetener but also when you candy them? watch OUT. Stay tuned for some delicious new nut recipes just in time for christmas gift giving.

Pecan Cinnamon Roll Granola

gluten free oats

½ cup each sunflower and pumpkin seeds

cinnamon (divided)

vanilla

olive oil, pecan butter and maple syrup

Preheat oven to 320 convection or 325 degrees F.

Add dry ingredients minus 2 tsp of ground cinnamon into a large bowl and mix well to combine.

Add wet ingredients + 2 tsp ground cinnamon into a small pot. Heat over medium low heat and stir until mixture is homegenous.

Divide granola onto two baking sheets. Press firmly and place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Turn pans 180 degrees and bake again for 10-15 more minutes until granola is golden brown.

Let the granola cool COMPLETELY before using spatula to remove granola from sheets. Store in an air-tight container.

With only a few minutes of hands-on time, you can have the best crispy, healthy homemade granola!

Granola Recipe

brown sugar

salted butter, (melted)

Heat oven to 300 degrees F.  Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.  Move the center rack up a level so it&#39;s on the second level from the top.

Mix the oats, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until combined. In a small, separate bowl, stir the melted butter, honey, vanilla and egg white together, then drizzle over the oat mixture, stirring together until well-combined.

Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out in an even layer.  If you want large chunks of granola, flatten into an even layer with a spatula, adding pressure so the granola is nice and compact.  Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through for even toasting, until golden and crispy and the almonds look lightly toasted. 

Remove from oven and let the granola cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature.

When you wake up craving granola but don&#39;t have time to make a full batch, single-serving microwave granola to the rescue! Only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to prepare. It&#39;s crunchy, sweetened with maple syrup, and lightly spiced. Vegan and can be made without oil (see Notes).Adapted from Bigger Bolder Baking&#39;s microwave granola.

Easy Microwave Granola Recipe

old fashioned rolled oats (40 grams)

nuts,

raw pumpkin seeds, optional

pumpkin spice

⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt

neutral oil

maple syrup (the granola is fairly sweet; you may prefer 3 teaspoons.)

In a large, microwave-safe mug or regular-size cereal bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, seeds, pumpkin spice, and salt.

Combine

Drizzle in the oil and maple syrup, and stir everything very well so that the dry ingredients are fully coated.

Microwave

Note: You may find that you need more or less time depending on your microwave (mine is 1100 watts). Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave for 20 seconds and stir again.  Microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds, stir, then place on the counter to cool. Tip: The granola can burn quickly during the final few seconds of cooking. It should be barely soft/chewy, but after you let it rest for 1 minute it should become crunchy. It it&#39;s still chewy after resting you&#39;ll want to experiment with adding more time.

Lori, is there any way to make granola clusters or chunks using this microwave recipe? I made this for a toddler who prefers granola to oatmeal, but he cannot grab the granola without making a mess.  BTW, I followed the recipe exactly, but used ghee instead of oil and the granola came out nice and crispy! I also added a teaspoon of flax seed powder and dash of vanilla plus cinnamon.

Well thank you Lori, this is a genius recipe ! It has become my go-to quick breakfast (mostly with pumpkin seeds and whole hazelnuts). The combination of the warm granola with the cold milk (hazelnut for me) gives it just the perfect crisp and temperature 😋
I am hooked ! 🤗

Easy 6-ingredient vegan peanut butter granola that&#39;s FULL of crunchy clusters! It&#39;s oil-free, naturally sweetened, and 100% irresistible. Great for snacks and breakfast and as a crunchy topping for ice cream and pudding!

Vegan Peanut Butter Granola (Oil-Free)

brown rice syrup

natural peanut butter, salted

fine sea salt

½ cups old fashioned rolled oats (Certified gluten-free if needed.)

½ cup roasted, unsalted peanuts

Preheat

Preheat oven to 310 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.

In a mixing bowl combine the syrups, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Microwave in 10 to 15 second intervals just to slightly warm the syrup. This makes it easier to stir and combine with the other ingredients. Stir well.

Add the oats and peanuts to the bowl. Stir until everything is well coated with the syrup mixture.

Bake

Spread the granola onto the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven, gently stir (keeping large chunks of it intact), and spread out on the pan again. Bake for another 8 to 12 minutes, keeping an eye on the bottom of the granola in the last few minutes so that it doesn&#39;t burn.

Cool

Let the granola cool on the pan for about 15 minutes, then break into clusters. Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container.
