This peanut butter granola is the perfect thing for breakfast, or a snack. It’s a little sweet, crunchy, and so delicious -perfect on it’s own, with milk, yogurt, or in a parfait.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. It’s a great day to get energy for the day. I love starting my morning with a bowl of yogurt and this yummy peanut butter granola.
This homemade peanut butter granola is a little sweet, and bursting with peanut butter flavor in every bite. It’s crunchy, and so delicious.
I love eating it on it’s own, by the handful, or enjoying it with a bowl or milk, or some yogurt.
Peanut butter is a great breakfast option because it has 8 grams of protein, plus over 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients. It’s easy to add to your day when you start your day with this delicious granola. Heck, go for a smoothie or yogurt bowl with banana, and berries, and this granola on top and drizzle even more peanut butter on top too 😉
How to make Peanut Butter Granola?
- Combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil, in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave for about 30 seconds, then stir it smooth. Stir in the vanilla extra and salt.
- Add the oats and chopped peanuts to a large bowl.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the top and stir it all together to coat the mixture evenly.
- Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet. Bake the granola for about 30 minutes, stirring half way through. Let the granola cool completely, then break into pieces and enjoy.
Tips for making Peanut Butter Granola:
- You can substitute agave instead of the pure maple syrup.
- You can use coconut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil.
- I recommend using old fashioned oats. Don’t use quick oats, instant oats, 1 minute, or 3 minute oats as they will be too soft in the granola.
- Peanuts can be swapped for a different nut, or you can leave them out completely.
- You can store the granola in an aitright container, or ziptop bag for up to 3 weeks.
- You can also freeze the peanut butter granola for up to 3 months in a freezer safe ziptop bag. Let it thaw at room temperature over night before enjoying.
This peanut butter granola is so crunchy, peanut buttery and delicious. It’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. And is almost addictive!

Hi! I don’t have agave or maple syrup in my country (well, you can get maple syrup but you really havo to leave a kidney in exchange for a jar!) so I wonder which product would be a good replacement for either of them. Thanks in advance!
Kind regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina

You should also be able to substitute honey!

I made the PB granola, it’s really good especially with milk as a cereal. Not as sweet as I predicted though
Aimee says
Granola isn’t usually super sweet, but this one only has 1/4 cup maple syrup for sweetener. If you’d like a sweeter granola you could try adding a bit of brown sugar to it (maybe another 1/4 cup), though it may need to microwave a bit longer to help it dissolve.
