Homemade Granola


I LOVE GRANOLA!!!

I love this granola, I usually take in a bag and bring it to work and snack when I'm feeling hungry in between meals!

What You'll need:

1 cup of oats (Not quick oats)
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
2 tablespoons of honey
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract 

*you can change the measurements depending on what you like i added a little extra of everything*

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
spray cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray.
Combine peanut butter and honey in a bowl, microwave until peanut butter becomes creamy.
Add cinnamon and vanilla into peanut butter mixture and stir.
pour oats into mixture and stir until oats are covered!
spread oat mixture evenly on cookie sheet.
Cookie for 5-8 minutes, let cool until granola is crunchy.

ENJOY.

I always make this in bulk
You can never have too much oats:)
