Healthy Peanut Butter Granola Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER GRANOLA

Steps:

• Melt together margarine, peanut butter and honey.
• Add vanilla and salt.
• Add oatmeal and toss to coat completely.
• Spread on baking sheet.
• Bake at 375 about 10 minutes. Stir after 5 minutes.
• Store at room temperature in sealed container.
• Note.watch it closely while it bakes -- it burns easily, especially around the edges where it's spread thinner on the pan.
• Also note -- I omit the salt without noticing any change in flavour.

GRANOLA COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, place the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until lightened in color and smoothly combined.
• Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and beat to combine. Stop the mixer to scrape down the bowl again as needed.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the top.
• Sprinkle on the flour. Mix on low speed, just until the dough comes together and all bits of dry flour disappear.
• By hand or with the mixer on low, gently stir in the granola, chocolate chips, cranberries, and nuts.
• Portion the batter by generous ¼-cup-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, placing each cookie about 2 inches apart. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie a little bit (they will not spread much during baking).
• Bake the granola cookies for 10 to 13 minutes, until lightly browned and dry to the touch at the edges and still slightly soft and the centers. The cookies will look a little underdone in the middle, but do not over bake or they will be dry. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. (I slide the parchment paper straight onto the rack).

PEANUT BUTTER GRANOLA BARS

Steps:

• Melt peanut butter and honey together in a saucepan over medium heat. Dissolve brown sugar into the peanut butter mixture; bring to a simmer for 2 minutes.
• Mix granola, oats, rice cereal, chocolate chips, and fruit together in a large bowl; pour peanut butter mixture over the granola mixture and fold to coat.
• Grease a cake pan. Pour the granola mixture into the prepared pan and press into a flat layer. Cool at room temperature until set, about 15 minutes before cutting into bars.

4 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN GRANOLA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 F. and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a medium bowl, add all ingredients and mix until well combined and peanut butter is coating everything. 3. Transfer to baking sheet and flatten into an even layer. 4. Bake 325 F. for 10-13 minutes until golden and fragrant. 5. Let cool completely to allow granola to firm up and get crunchy. 6. Serve over yogurt, with milk, or eat it plain! Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to a month.

GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the honey and peanut butter. Using a spatula, stir in the granola. Add enough milk to just moisten--you want it to stick together. Form into balls. Chill until ready to serve.
