Vegan Peanut Butter Granola
Easy vegan peanut butter granola that's FULL of crunchy clusters! It's oil-free, naturally sweetened, and 100% irresistible. Great for snacks, breakfast, and as a crunchy topping for ice cream, pudding, and yogurt!
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown rice syrup This is important for clusters. Can sub maple syrup, if desired, and omit the 3 tablespoon maple syrup below
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ⅓ cup peanut butter stir very well, natural, salted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 2½ cups rolled oats Certified gluten-free if needed, old fashioned
- ½ cup peanuts roasted, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 310 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- In a mixing bowl combine the syrups, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Microwave in 10 to 15 second intervals just to slightly warm the syrup. This makes it easier to stir and combine with the other ingredients. Stir well.
- Add the oats and peanuts to the bowl. Stir until everything is well coated with the syrup mixture.
- Spread the granola onto the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven, gently stir (keeping large chunks of it intact), and spread out on the pan again. Bake for another 8 to 12 minutes, keeping an eye on the bottom of the granola in the last few minutes so that it doesn't burn.
- Let the granola cool on the pan for about 15 minutes, then break into clusters. Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
- Store peanut butter granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Granola is also freezer-friendly.
