Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 300 degrees F.

Combine the maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla in a medium bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and microwave a bit more until creamy and completely combined.

Pour the oats and almonds in a large bowl and mix in the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the oats are completely covered in the liquid.

Spread the oats out evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring a couple times, until a light golden brown. I like to stir mine at the 10 minute mark and the 20 minute mark. The edges of the pan will get the most crispy so I like to rotate the oats in the pan so that it all gets evenly crispy.

Once out of the oven, let cool and ENJOY! Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Stir Frequently for Even Toasting 🥄
Stir your granola every 3-4 minutes during baking to ensure even browning and prevent burnt edges while keeping the center light and crispy.
Cool Completely Before Storing ❄️
Allow the granola to cool to room temperature on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before transferring to containers, as it will continue to crisp up and won't clump from residual heat.
Toast Almonds Separately for Superior Texture 🌰
Pre-toast your almonds for 5 minutes before mixing with other ingredients to deepen their flavor and ensure they remain crunchy rather than becoming chewy during the full baking time.
Use Natural Peanut Butter for Better Binding 🥜
Choose natural peanut butter with just peanuts and salt, as the added oils will coat ingredients more evenly than processed varieties, creating better clumps that hold together beautifully.
Spread Thin for Maximum Crunch 📊
Spread your mixture in a single, even layer across the entire baking sheet rather than piling it high, allowing hot air to circulate uniformly and achieve that irresistibly crispy, crunchy texture.
