Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, and honey. Stir well until the oats are coated evenly.
  3. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it down gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the granola turns golden brown. Stir the granola halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. This will allow the granola to crisp up.
  6. Once cooled, add the chopped peanuts, raisins, dried cranberries, and mini chocolate chips (if using). Toss everything together until well combined.
  7. Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  8. Serve the Easiest Peanut Butter Granola as a breakfast cereal with milk or yogurt, or enjoy it as a grab-and-go snack!
