Peanut Butter Granola


Granola is a staple at our house... it's super easy to mix up and unfortunately gone just as fast. I have 2 favorite recipes... this peanut butter one and a vanilla crunch one which i'll share as soon as i can find it :)


Peanut Butter Granola
5 c. oatmeal (not quick)
5 c. rolled six grain (if you don't have this, just use more oats)
2 c. coconut flakes
1 1/2 c. rapadura (or brown sugar)
1 t. salt
3/4 c. peanut butter
1 c. coconut oil (or other oil)
1/2 c. honey
2 t. vanilla

Directions:
* mix all dry ingredients together except the salt (I find it mixes better if you add it to the wet ingredients)
* combine all the other ingredients... be careful not to heat it too hot, as you don't want to damage the oil
* stir heated mixture into dry ingredients
* place on dehydrator trays

Cooking Instructions:
* dehydrate until crispy, usually 18-24 hours
* Cool and store in glass jars.
* I don't have the directions any more for cooking in the oven, but I think you just cook it at 350 degrees until crispy (about 1/2 hour ?), and you need to turn it every so often.
