Peanut Butter Granola

4 cups quick cooking oats

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp salt

¾ C natural peanut butter

½ C honey or maple syrup

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325⁰. Grease a large cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together oats, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a microwave safe dish or on the stovetop, melt the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) together until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Stir in dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Spread mixture on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until granola is lightly browned, stirring the granola once gently half way through. (A great way to test for doneness is to remove a small portion of the granola from the pan and set it on the counter. If it hardens as it cools the rest of the granola is done)!

Remove from oven and let sit until cooled.

Once cooled, break apart and eat!
