INGREDIENTS FOR peanut butter GRANOLA

  • Oats, use rolled oats. You can make this granola with oats or other grains, nuts, or seeds.
  • Grated or flaked coconut. Check that it does not have sugar.
  • Chia seeds. You can use black or you can use light.
  • Coconut oil, solid or liquid. You can replace it with another vegetable oil you have at home; avocado oil can be a good option.
  • Peanut butter, substitute with almond butter or homemade chocolate peanut butter.
  • Maple syrup
  • Chopped dark chocolate, chocolate chips, or some melting chocolate.
  • Roasted or unroasted peanuts

HOW TO MAKE GRANOLA WITH PEANUT BUTTER and chocolate

  • Mix the rolled oats, coconut, and chia seeds in a bowl. If you want, you can add a pinch of salt.
  • Mix coconut oil, maple syrup, and peanut butter in another bowl. Add this mixture to the oatmeal and coconut flakes when well mixed. Mix very well and put on a tray prepared with parchment paper.
  • Try to put the granola in a single layer and put it in the oven for about 35 minutes. Stir the granola every 8-10 minutes so it is all browned. Taste it before you take it out; make sure it’s golden.
  • When it’s ready, remove it from the oven, add the peanuts and chocolate pieces, and mix to melt.

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST GRANOLA

Quality Ingredients: Use fresh and good quality ingredients to guarantee a perfect flavor and texture in your granola.

Oats: The granola base is rolled oats, which provide fiber and essential nutrients. Opt for thick rolled oats, as they retain their shape and texture better during baking.

Maple syrup: It gives a sweet touch, flavor, and a sticky texture that helps the ingredients stick together.

Healthy Fats: Use healthy vegetable oils, like coconut or avocado oil, to help the granola brown evenly and give it a crunchy texture. In addition, healthy fats provide benefits for the heart and brain.

To bake: Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature (about 150-170 °C / 300-340 °F) and bake the granola on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, stirring every 10-15 minutes to ensure even browning. The granola is ready when it’s golden and crisp, but be careful not to burn it.

How to Store Granola: Allow granola to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. This will keep it crunchy and ensure it lasts longer.

How to eat it: Serve your homemade granola with yogurt, milk, or fresh fruit or as a topping for your favorite desserts.
