Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats see note for gluten-free
- ½ cup lightly salted peanuts
- ¼ cup golden flax meal
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a food processor, add ¾ cup of the oats and pulse until finely ground but before it reaches a flour consistency. Add the peanuts and pulse for 5 to 7 more seconds.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground oat mixture, remaining old fashioned oats, cinnamon, golden flax meal, and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the peanut butter and coconut oil in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Add the maple syrup and vanilla. Stir, then pour over the oat mixture.
- Use a large spoon to stir the mixture until it’s evenly coated with the syrup mixture. Transfer the granola to the prepared pan in an even layer about ½ inch thick. It won’t fill up the entire pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the pan. Bake for 25 more minutes
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the granola cool for at least 30 minutes before you break it into pieces. Spread the pieces apart.
- Once it’s broken into clusters, let it cool completely on the pan before transferring it to a zip-top bag or airtight container.
