Ingredients
- A mist of PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
- A dollop of Peter Pan® Creamy Peanut Butter, equivalent to ⅓ cup
- An infusion of Pure Wesson® Canola Oil, measuring ⅓ cup
- A drizzle of golden honey, around ¼ cup
- 4 portions of quick-cooking rolled oats, separated into 4 cups
- Half a cup of firmly packed brown sugar
- Just a hint of salt, a mere ¼ teaspoon
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to a cozy 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Take a large baking sheet and give it a quick spritz of cooking spray, then set it aside for later use.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, mix together peanut butter, oil, and honey. Warm the mixture on low heat until it becomes smooth and easily pourable. While that's heating up, take a cup of oats and blitz them in a blender or food processor until they turn into a fine powder. In a spacious bowl, combine the ground oats with the rest of the oats, some sugar, and a pinch of salt. Once the peanut butter concoction is ready, pour it over the oat mixture and give everything a good stir. Spread this mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Pop the sheet into the oven and let it bake for 30 minutes, remembering to give it a good mix every 10 minutes. After baking, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes, then break it into delightful chunks and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store these crunchy treats in an airtight container at room temperature for a delightful snack that will stay fresh for up to a week.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. To preserve the freshness of your homemade peanut butter granola, store it in an airtight glass container or mason jar. This will help to maintain its crunchiness and prevent it from becoming stale.
- 2. If you have leftover granola and want to keep it for later use, consider freezing it in a sealable freezer bag. Simply take out the amount you need and let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
