Recipe: Homemade Granola

I've made this recipe several times and both Raelyn & Max love it! It's super quick & simple to throw together. Max eats it as is and Raelyn likes to mix in raisins.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. creamy peanut butter (I use sunbutter)
2 tbsp. honey
¼ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. oats
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Combine sunbutter and honey in a bowl and microwave until sunbutter melts (approximately 20 seconds). Stir. Stir cinnamon and vanilla into peanut butter and honey mixture. 
Add oats and stir until oats are completely covered in peanut butter mixture. 

Spread out oat mixture onto prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 7 -8 minutes until granola is slightly browned. Let cool until granola is crunchy. Break apart and add any mix-ins (raisins, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips, etc).


 Watch your kids enjoy eating and try not to eat the whole pan yourself!
