Two out of three of my kids are in nut free classrooms at
school. This has caused an outcry from my children. They especially love peanut
butter, and they miss it terribly. So,
this recipe for Peanut Butter Granola helps to ease the pain of a nut free
school day. It is just as simple to prepare as my traditional Granola recipe,
but with the added benefit of being sugar free. Instead it is sweetened with
honey. And, if you have a big roasting pan, you can double the recipe so that
you have enough for several meals.
Peanut Butter Granola
4 Tbsp. butter
2/3 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
½ tsp. salt
6 cups oats (old fashioned or quick)
Melt the butter and peanut butter in a large sauce pan on
top of the stove. Add the honey, vanilla, and salt. Stir until combined and
heated through. Add the oats and stir until completely coated. Pour the mixture
into a 9X13 pan. Spread it out evenly and bake in a 300˚ oven for 20 minutes,
stirring half way through the cooking time. Allow it to cool in the pan, stirring
occasionally to keep it from forming a solid brick. After completely cool,
store in an airtight container. Serve like cereal with milk.
