Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place the peanut butter and coconut oil in a large microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon and salt, and stir well to combine. Add the oats and stir until well coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Pour the oat mixture onto the prepared pan and spread in an even layer, about 1/4" thick, packing it down well. Packing it down will help give us those big clusters!

Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until golden….do not stir! Remove from heat and cool completely without stirring.

Once cooled, break the granola up into chunks and place in an air tight container at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Stir Every 5 Minutes for Even Clustering 🥣
Stir the granola every 5 minutes during baking to ensure even toasting and prevent burning, which creates those coveted large clusters while maintaining uniform color and texture.
Cool Completely Before Breaking into Clusters ❄️
Let the granola cool for at least 15-20 minutes on the baking sheet before breaking it apart; this allows the maple syrup and peanut butter binder to set properly, creating distinct crunchy clusters rather than crumbles.
Use Room Temperature Peanut Butter for Better Binding 🥜
Slightly warm your peanut butter (microwaved for 10-15 seconds) before mixing so it spreads evenly throughout the oats, ensuring every bite has maximum peanut butter flavor and better cluster cohesion.
Toast at 325°F for Perfect Crunch Without Bitterness 🌡️
Maintain a consistent 325°F temperature rather than higher heat; this slower toasting develops deep, nutty flavors while preventing the peanut butter from burning and turning bitter.
Add Coconut Oil Last for Superior Crispness ✨
Melt and drizzle the coconut oil after mixing the other ingredients rather than pre-mixing; this ensures even distribution and helps create a crispy exterior on clusters without making them greasy.
