Honey Peanut Butter Granola Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, salt, and collagen powder.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey, peanut butter, and butter (or coconut oil) until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
- Combine: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until fully coated.
- Add Egg White: Fold in the frothy egg white—it helps create those crunchy clusters!
- Bake: Spread the granola evenly onto the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. For extra crunch, don’t stir for the last 10 minutes.
- Cool Completely: It will crisp up as it cools.
- Store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Why Sprouted Organic Oats?
They offer better digestion and nutrient absorption! Sprouting helps reduce phytic acid, making minerals like magnesium and zinc more bioavailable. Plus, choosing organic oats ensures you’re avoiding glyphosate, a common pesticide residue that’s destroying our health and soils! These are my favorite organic oats! (look for them at Costco too!)
How We Eat It (Best Way to Serve!)
We love this healthy homemade granola on top of a high-protein Greek yogurt bowl:
1/4 cup of this granola
1 serving plain Greek yogurt (high in protein!)
Honey, to taste
A scoop or two of organic grass-fed whey protein
Organic berries (We use frozen organic berries from Costco and thaw them before eating)
Simply mix the honey and whey protein into the yogurt first, then top with berries and granola. It’s the perfect nutrient-dense, protein-packed snack or quick breakfast!
Cost Breakdown (All Organic Ingredients)
One of the best things about making your own granola is the savings! Here’s a rough breakdown of the cost per batch:
Estimated Cost per Ingredient:
Sprouted Organic Oats (3 cups): ~$1.50
Peanut Butter (1/4 cup): ~$0.75
Honey (1/2 cup): ~$1.00
Butter/Coconut Oil (1/4 cup): ~$0.75
Collagen (1 scoop): ~$1.50
Egg White (1): ~$0.25
Cinnamon, Salt, Vanilla: ~$0.25
Total Cost per Batch: ~$6.00
Cost per Serving (1/4 cup): ~$0.50
Compare that to a high-quality store-bought granola that can cost $10+ per bag! Making it at home saves money and ensures clean, high-quality ingredients.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
For longer storage, keep in the fridge for up to a month.
Freeze for up to 3 months – Just thaw at room temp before using.
