Why does granola cost so much at the store when it’s pretty much one of the easiest foods to make. All you need are oats, a sticky sweetener, an oil or butter, and whatever other fun ingredients you’d like to add. In the case of my peanut butter + chocolate chip granola, I added those ingredients plus almonds.

The reason I came up with this recipe is because I wanted a granola that my daughter would actually eat. Oats are such an important staple in a plant-based diet. They have iron (check out my post about how to make sure your kids are getting enough iron), protein, and ultimately oats are one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. But try telling that to a kid! But with a little bit of peanut butter and a lot a bit of chocolate and voila, oats are yummy!

For this peanut butter + chocolate chip granola recipe, I actually had to remake it a few times to try and get measurements. That’s because the best thing about granola is exact measurements are not that important. However, I will say, be careful how much peanut butter you add because that can burn, and also be mindful of how your oven operates. I recommend starting at a lower temperature.
