Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

Written by on in Snacks

This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola is a perfect snack. It’s a great addition to your yogurt or just on its own. Whether home or on the go, its a perfect snack to satisfy anyone.

I alway try to have a batch of homemade granola on hand at all times. It’s the perfect addition to yogurt, in a bowl with a little milk or by the handful. I personally love sprinkling a bit of granola on plain greek yogurt, it gives me that extra sweet crunch I’m looking for. Plus the added benefits of the protein from the nuts and the fiber from the oats, and when you make your own you don’t have to worry about the added ingredients that you don’t want.

I love that granola comes in a variety of flavors, You literally can make granola to suit your mood or to suit the ingredients that you have on hand, like my Banana Bread Granola, great for when you have those extra bananas that are getting too ripe.

This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola is super easy to make and I bet it will be a family favorite.

How To Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

Start by preheating your oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl stir together the maple syrup, peanut butter, avocado oil and vanilla extract and mix until completely combined.

To the same bowl add the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped almonds, cocoa nibs and salt and mix until incorporated.

Spread oat mixture evenly over prepared baking sheet. Place in preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring if you notice that the edges are browning to quickly. The less you stir the granola, the clumpier it will be. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Once granola has completely cooled add the mini chocolate chips and mix to combine. Store granola in an air tight container.
