Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together the melted peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and olive oil until combined. Add into the oats in a bowl and stir until all the oats are fully coated. Fold in the peanuts.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a ½-inch layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes before giving the granola a gentle stir with a spatula. Bake for another 7-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Let the granola cool fully and crisp up before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Peanut Butter Binding Magic 🥜
Warm your peanut butter slightly before mixing to help it blend more evenly with other ingredients and create a more cohesive granola mixture.
Low and Slow Toasting 🔥
Bake the granola at 325°F instead of higher temperatures to prevent burning and ensure even, golden-brown clusters with maximum crunchiness.
Moisture Control Technique 💧
Use a light hand when adding liquid ingredients - too much moisture prevents the granola from becoming crisp and can result in soggy clusters.
Cluster Creation Hack 🧩
After initial mixing, gently press the granola mixture into a compact layer before baking to encourage larger, satisfying clusters.
Cool Down Strategy 🧊
Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet without stirring, which helps create crispy pieces and prevents breaking up the clusters.
