CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE, COCONUT GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.
• Combine honey and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until melted, about 20 seconds. Stir well.
• Place the rolled oats in a large bowl. Drizzle honey-peanut butter mixture over oats; toss to coat. Mix in sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, coconut, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 22 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and sugar. (Note: this helps add an extra crispiness to the final product and sweetens it up a bit more. But if you're sugar conscious, it's optional. However, I recommend it!)
• Warm peanut butter, oil, and maple syrup or agave in a small skillet or saucepan until thoroughly combined and pourable.
• Pour over oats and quickly toss/stir to combine. If it appears too wet, add more oats (mine was just right).
• Spread evenly on a large baking sheet (or two small baking sheets) and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until evenly golden brown. Watch closely as it tends to brown quickly near the end. IMPORTANT: Toss once around the 15-minute mark to ensure even baking.
• Remove from oven, toss gently to release heat and let cool completely on the pan.
• Transfer to mixing bowl or storage container and add chocolate chips (optional) and stir or shake.
• Eat with almond milk - my favorite. Sliced bananas take it to the next level.
• Will keep fresh for up to two weeks. Freeze after that.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER LOVERS' GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Mix oats, peanuts, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl. Melt peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract. Pour over oats and mix until all oats are moistened.
• Bake for 30 minutes, stirring and flipping every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and, if adding chocolate chips, sprinkle the granola with them while it is still warm. Stir. The chocolate chips will melt, creating larger clusters of granola. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. The air will help the granola get crunchy.
