Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter or any nut/seed butter of choice
  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick cooking oats
  • 0.5 cup uncooked prewashed quinoa can substitute more oats
  • 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup unflavored protein powder optional, unflavored grass-fed whey recommended

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Parchment-lined baking sheet
  • Measuring cups
  • Airtight storage container

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium/large mixing bowl, place all your ingredients and mix until the peanut butter has coated everything well.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden on the edges.
  5. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before storing. The granola will crisp up more after cooling completely out of the oven.

Notes

Store in airtight container at room temperature for 2 weeks or refrigerate for 1 month. To re-crisp, bake at 325°F for 5-10 minutes. If peanut butter is solid, warm slightly to make mixing easier.
