Look no further folks, I think I may have created the most addictive recipe of the century! I had to lock this away from myself in an attempt of some sort of damage limitation – it is that good!
Granola is one of my favourite all time treats and this one is a mix of all of my favourite things in one handful. It’s also pretty healthy too as I used coconut oil instead of regular oil. It’s combined with raisins and mixed seeds and with very little ingredients it couldn’t be any easier to make!
You could really go to town with the additions to this granola, I added some of my favourite ingredients, but it can easily be tailored to your own taste buds. How about some chocolate chunks to really take things up a notch? Adding the chocolate chunks would make it reminiscent of peanut butter cups, yum! I don’t know about you, but I hate a granola that skimps on the added extras – this recipe is bursting at the seams with delicious additions that I included.
- 200 g /2 cups rolled oat
- 50 g /1/2 cup raisins
- 75 g /1/2 cup mixed seeds
- 3 tbsp melted coocnut oil
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
-
In a saucepan heat the honey, coconut oil and peanut butter and mix until well combined. Pour over the oats and stir through making sure that all of the oats are covered well with the wet mixture.
-
Lay the covered oats on non-stick baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees, remembering to turn them halfway through the cooking process.
-
Once golden brown take the granola out of the oven, allow to cool and firm up. When completely cool mix in the additional ingredients and try not to inhale the whole lot in one go.
This would be great by itself for breakfast or I like to eat it sprinkled on top of mixed berries and Greek yoghurt. When the afternoon energy slump comes knocking I also like to have a couple of handfuls as a snack to help me feel alive again. Additions such as the coconut oil is a great source of healthy fats and the mixed seeds are wonderful for getting magnesium into your diet for healthy bones and the production of energy.
I’m obviously a massive fan of granola and you can check out my Cherry Bakewell Granola and Orange and Chia Seed Granola recipes for some more granola based deliciousness.
Making my own granola would be the way to go for me because I’m not keen on raisins but this looks so good and I could only imagine how good this tastes!!
You could definitely pass on the raisins, which is one of the best things about making your own.
Oooh, this looks amazing! I make granola quite a lot but I’d never thought about adding peanut butter to it. Sounds yummy! X
Thank you! You should give it a try with the peanut butter to see what you think.
This looks amazing! And so easy to make – I may try this at the weekend x
Let me know if you give it a try! Would to know what you think.
You genius! This looks and sounds like such a breakfast treat 🙂
Ha! Thanks Emily!
I have just started eating granola and love it, especially with some fruit and yogurt it is delicious. Never thought of adding peanut butter too! Yummy. xx
With fruit and yoghurt is my favourite way to eat it, yum!
I’ve thought about making granola so many times and you’ve made it look so easy. Love peanut butter too so I’m sold!
Sisley, it’s incredibly easy and very adaptable to personal taste too, which is why I always make my own these days.
I saw it on your Instagram and I’ve been already drooling copiously over this peanut butter granola! Such a fantastic combo!
Thanks, Andrea! Peanut butter and granola are 2 of my foodie loves.
This sounds soo good! I might whip up a batch soon 🙂
Oh lovely! You must let me know what you think.
I bet this is like crack hehe! I tend not to eat granola because I’m more of a porridge fan and less of a cold cereal fan but I do love to snack on granola dry and I bet this is good for that!
Hahaha! It’s definitely like crack, so I make sure I hide it in that back of the cupboard and portion it out properly.
I make my own granola but have never tried adding peanut butter to it, it sounds delicious and the photos are beautiful.
Thank you! The peanut butter is lovely in it.
What an exciting recipe. I love granola and peanut butter will give it a good boost of protein too.
Thanks! Absolutely, peanut butter is great for a protein boost.
I’ve never made my own granola but this looks so yummy and easy too x
Yes, it’s very simple to make.
Yum this look so good, I only recently started to like Granola. xx
Thank you!
I love granola and usually have it for breakfast or in my smoothie post workout. I always buy my granola, but now I am thinking of trying out your recipe and making my own
Let me know if you give it a try, so easy making your own.
Yes yes YES! This is right up my street and sounds blimmin amazing. You are ace! Bookmarking x
Thanks Beth! Lovely to hear that you love the sound of this. 🙂
I’ve never made granola at home before, but I really need to! Yours looks so delicious!
Thanks Petra, I really enjoy making this one.
I love peanut butter! This looks really tasty
I have never made my own granola but this post has inspiring me to give it a go. Thank you for sharing the recipe, Jemma.
You should give it a go, so easy and quick to make.
This sounds so nice and flavorful. I think I’d like this a lot. I wonder if this could be used in some baking recipes.
Someone has suggested making this into flapjacks and I think it would work well.
Looks great and so easy and healthy! Thanks for a great idea.
My pleasure Ann. 🙂
Everything tastes nicer with peanut butter added to it. These would make great flapjacks x
Oooh, yes! Great idea!
I bet this is so delicious. Chocolate chunks would be a great add in especially seeing as chocolate and peanut butter = heaven.
I haven’t made my own granola for ages actually, but that needs to change!
Exactly! PB and chocolate is a match made in foodie heaven. 🙂
Mm mm mm…I’ve saved it!! It looks delicious and so simple, so thank you. Granola is also one of my absolute favs in the morning 🙂
Never would I have thought about adding peanut butter to granola, I love it! Peanut butter is for winners!
I look at so many granola recipes and think yeah, nice but probably won’t make it. BUT PEANUT BUTTER IN GRANOLA? OK, this has me sitting up and taking notice!!!
I love homemade granola and make it often but I love the idea of adding the peanut butter which I have not tried before. It looks great.
You just can’t beat homemade granola. I love that there are so many different flavour combos that you can make.
I’ve never made my own granola. The peanut butter one sounds very interesting x
I am such a big fan of home made granola. I like that you can control what goes into it and what you’ve made – oh my! Gorgeous!
Big thumbs up for the peanut butter in this! I need to make my own granola more often.
Oh wow I think I might have to make this – I am not a big fan of peanut butter but my OH and son are and if this can get them eating granola, it will be well worth it!
I now want this, I love peanut butter, am alright with Granola but deadly together, absolute yum x
Peanut butter granola sounds so lovely. I love granola.
I HAVE to make this – you always have such good recipes!!
Looks and sounds delicious, I will have a try of this at home. I love nutty snacky type things especially in the evenings. Anything with pumpkin seeds in always catches my eye too!
I love peanut butter but have never tried peanut butter granola before. it sounds heavenly nom nom!
PB is a lovely addition to granola.
Granola is one of my favorite things to snack on. I add it to my yogurts and oatmeal all the time. This recipe sounds so yummy.
Yes, love adding it to yoghurts.

This is something my boyfriend would really love, maybe if I’m feeling generous I’ll try make it for him one day 😀
Ha! That would be such a treat for him.
I don’t really eat granola, but I must admit that this one looks yummy 🙂
Hope this has converted you!
