Salted Peanut Butter Granola
Mar 12, 2019There are so many different muesli options on the market at the moment and some of them are ridiculously overpriced; I can’t bring myself to pay $16 for a bag of muesli. Making your own means you are in control of the ingredients and you will save yourself a bob or two as well. This is my new favourite – probably because peanut butter makes everything amazing in my mind. I serve mine with some thick natural yoghurt or on top of a smoothie to give it some crunch.
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (I use Pics or Fix and Fogg)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
3 tbsp lite olive oil
1/2 tsp iodised salt
3 cups wholegrain oats
1 cup almonds (roughly chopped)
1/2 cup cashews (roughly chopped)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup dried apricots, sliced
4-5 dried figs, sliced or dates
Method:
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to bake 180 C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Heat the peanut butter, maple, oil and salt for a few minutes in the microwave until melted together.
Step 2
Place oats, almonds, cashews and seeds in a mixing bowl and add the peanut butter mixture. Toss until well combined.
Step 3
Spread evenly onto the baking tray and bake for about 15-20 minutes, tossing it halfway through cooking, Keep an eye on it because it can burn easily.
Step 4
Remove from the oven and stir through the dried. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
