Granola makes everything better. It turns boring oatmeal, vanilla yogurt, and just plain milk into a giant party.

Add peanut butter and chocolate to granola and we’ve basically got heaven on earth!

What You’ll Need:

old fashioned oatmeal
peanuts
sunflower seeds
pepitas
avocado oil
honey
crunchy peanut butter (creamy peanut butter works great too) – I haven’t tested natural peanut butter or almond butter in this recipe.
pure maple syrup
peanut butter chips
chocolate chips (you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or even chocolate chunks)

Ingredients for the peanut butter chocolate granola.

Step 1
Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients – the oatmeal, peanuts, sunflower seeds, pepitas, and sea salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 2
Combine the wet ingredients. In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine the wet ingredients – the avocado oil, honey maple syrup, and crunchy peanut butter. Heat in the microwave for about two minutes and then stir well to combine.

Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry. Pour the honey peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well with a spoon.

Step 4
Add to pan. Then add the granola mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread in an even layer.

Step 5
Bake granola. Bake the granola in a preheated 325-degree oven for 20 minutes. Check to see if the granola is browning. You may need to bake the granola for another 5-8 minutes or so.

Step 6
Let cool. Let the pan of granola sit in the pan for 20-30 minutes. Afterward, use your hands to break up the granola into chunks.

Step 7
Add chips. Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.

Storing and Freezing

Store granola in an airtight container or a ziplock storage bag. The granola will stay fresh at room temperature for up to a week.
Freeze granola in a freezer bag for up to three months.
This is also a great recipe to pack when you travel – speaking from experience.

How to Enjoy Granola:

Sprinkle granola over fruit and yogurt. This is definitely Mike’s FAV way to eat it.
Combine it with milk. Granola as a cereal? Yes, please.
Add it to your oatmeal (or steel-cut oats). I’m liking this A LOT.
Eat it straight out of the bag. Is this ok to do? Asking for a friend.

Recipe Tips:

First…a question. Do you have an oven that bakes hotter or colder than average, or just somewhere in the middle? This is important.
Bake your granola at 325 degrees F (or 350 degrees F in my case) for 20-25 minutes.
Be vigilant and stay close to the oven towards the end of baking. This granola can burn very quickly, and I don’t want that to happen to you.
Don’t stir the granola to keep the granola in large clusters. After it’s done, remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for about 15 minutes before using your hands to break it apart.
