Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

Granola granola granola all around! 
Figuratively dying over this granola, not literally since that's grammatically incorrect. 
I had a bowl of my peanut butter granola this morning with a cup of my peanut butter and chocolate coffee and yeah,  you could say it was kind of like heaven.
This recipe is originally from Minimalist Baker (seriously good recipes for college students that don't want recipes with tons of ingredients!) found here: http://minimalistbaker.com/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-granola/#_a5y_p=2176330




Ingredients: 
  • 3 cups + 2 Tbsp rolled oats 
  • 2 Tbsp organic cane sugar (or sub granulated) (I skipped to be sugar conscious)
  • 1/4 cup olive, grape seed or melted coconut oil (I used coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup creamy natural salted peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, agave nectar (or sub honey if not vegan)
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free dark or bittersweet chocolate chips

Instructions: 
1. Preheat oven to 340 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper 
2. Mix oats and sugar, if using, and set aside
3. In a sauce pan, heat oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup (honey, agave) until melted, pourable, and mixed
4. Pour over oats and spread on baking sheet
5. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until evenly golden brown. Toss ever 15 minutes or so to make sure it bakes evenly. Keep an eye on it when it starts getting close to 15 minutes to be sure not to burn!
6. Allow to cool and add chocolate chips! Store in airtight container at room temp for up to 2 weeks. 
*Minimalist Baker suggests adding banana to it and that just sounds heavenly*
