Now that I know what goes into the so -called healthy granola, I started making my own versions- chocolate pecan /honey almond/ banana bread are few of such flavours.
Me being a peanut butter lover too I thought of incorporating 2 of my favourite ideas- peanut butter into basic granola recipe along with my favourite seeds too. That was how this granola was first made.
What you’ll need-
. Half cup peanuts
. 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
. 1 tablespoon chia seeds
. 1 tablespoon flax seeds
. 2 tablespoons black raisins
. 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
. One by fourth cup coconut oil
. One by fourth cup grated coconut
. One by fourth cup coconut sugar
. One by fourth cup peanut butter
. One by fourth cup pure maple syrup
. Half teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 150 degree Celsius .
- In a large mixing bowl , combine oats, peanuts, raisins, 3 seeds, grated coconut, cinnamon & coconut sugar.
- In a small sauce pan, stir in coconut oil & peanut butter. Heat till melted & well combined.
- To this mix in the maple syrup & vanilla to combine.
- Pour this mixture over the oats mix and stir well to combine.
- Lay it over a baking tray lined with baking sheet/parchment paper & bake for 25-30 mins.
- Take it out and let it cool.
- Break it into crumbly bits and store in an airtight container .
Notes, tips & suggestions-
