Peanut Butter Granola

Peanut Butter Granola

2 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

Directions

Begin by melting the margarine and peanut butter together in a saucepan. Add the honey, vanilla and salt. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and hot throughout. It doesn’t need to boil. Add the oats. Stir until the oats are completely coated with the sticky gooey peanut butter mixture. It will be chunky. Turn the mixture into an ungreased cookie sheet lined with wax paper, or a large 9 by 13-inch pan. Spread the granola out evenly and bake it at 325° for 20 minutes. It will be brown and crispy. Now remove it from the oven and allow it to cool right there in the pan. Break it up into pieces after it is cooled. Transfer the granola to sealed canister (I use ziplock bags).


Serving size is 1 c. I never eat that much. I usually have 1/8 c. on yogurt. Here is the information for 1c. of homemade granola.
