Notes
- Storage: Store peanut butter granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days.
- Makes 5 cups granola -- enough for 10 parfaits (see recipe for PB&J Parfaits)
- I like to bake the granola in both the 8x8 pan and on the baking sheet because it helps create great clusters that are a bit soft and chewy on the inside but crisp and crunchy on the outside-- trust me, it’s worth it!
- Vegan butter and yogurt can be substituted.
- You can substitute the maple syrup with honey if you'd like. Either way, make sure to buy the best quality syrup or honey, that way your results are delicious!
- Old-fashioned oats make the best granola. Don't substitute them with any other oats!
