Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

This week I made a big batch of my granola recipe and added peanut butter chips and chocolate chips, and it was a HUGE hit!  Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola was born!

The entire batch was literally devoured.  Three sheet pans worth of granola, gone in one day!  Granted, there are eight people at our house, but still…it disappeared in no time.  It was packed for snacks, lunches, and we munched on it at home. I love making new recipes that everyone loves, and this quickly made it to our favorites list. 

With school on the horizon, I’ve been thinking of yummy snacks for lunches and quick breakfast ideas. I immediately thought of granola, since my family loves it. I also love that you can make it in one big batch at a time.

The basic granola recipe is so good that you can take it and really do anything you want with it, which is one of my favorite things about granola.  If you want to do this for breakfast, and you really don’t want to add chocolate or peanut butter chips, then add craisins or raisins and a pinch of cinnamon instead.  It’s very forgiving, so if you love coconut, add it!  If you love cashews, add them too, or sub out one of the other nuts.

It’s just a really great basic recipe that you can customize for you and your family, and what you love best.

Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups oats
  • 8 oz. pecans, chopped
  • 8 oz. walnuts, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds (no shells)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6-8 oz. chocolate chips
  • 6-8 oz. peanut butter chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Combine the oats, pecans, walnuts, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl and set aside.
  • Stir together the salt, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, oil, and vanilla in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat.  Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir with a wooden spoon to coat.
  • Spread evenly over a prepared cookie sheet–one that has been covered in foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake until toasted and crispy–about 20 minutes–stirring it halfway through.
  • Cool completely (I had to break it into chunks first), then stir in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.  Store in an airtight container.  (If it lasts that long! )

Notes

VARIATIONS: Craisins, raisins, coconut, white chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, almonds, cashews–sub for one of the other ingredients! If you add ingredients, you will need to make a little more of the syrup. If you’re using something other than peanut butter and chocolate chips, you can add 1 T. cinnamon to the syrup mixture while it’s cooking.

    Hi there!!
    I followed the recipe exactly as it says…and I have cooked my first batch and it is still mushy/soft. It is not getting crunchy or hard in the slightest. I keep putting it back in the oven but it is just turning darker…not harder.
    What can I do?!!? It looks SO good…..but not ‘cooking’.

    OK scratch that last comment/question! I let it cool for a while and it got crunchier…but nothing is sticking together. I’ll keep it up and do it a little differently with each ‘oven batch’ and see how I can get some little chunks.
    Thanks so much! It’s tasty even without chunks!

      So sorry it’s not chunky for you!! You may want to bake it a little longer, and also keep it in chunks when you put it on the cookie sheet. IF I think of anything else, I’ll let you know.
