Every spoonful delivers clusters of oats bound by the richness of peanut butter and the added crunch of roasted nuts and toasted coconut flakes.

This granola is packed with nutrients and healthy fats. Hazelnuts are rich in vitamin E and healthy monounsaturated fats, while peanuts offer a great source of protein. The rolled oats provide fiber to support digestion and keep you full longer. Coconut flakes introduce healthy fats that boost energy. Sweetened naturally with honey, this granola offers just the right amount of sweetness without the need for refined sugars.

The versatility of this granola makes it a great addition to your daily meals. Enjoy it as a topping for smoothie bowls, yogurt, or oatmeal, or eat it with milk for a wholesome breakfast. It also makes an excellent snack for hikes or busy days when you need an energy boost.

The combination of peanut butter and hazelnuts creates a deep, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the subtle sweetness of honey. Toasted coconut flakes add a light, crispy element, while the oats tie everything together, providing a chewy texture in each bite.

One of the best aspects of making your granola is the ability to customize it. Swap out peanuts for almonds or cashews, add chia or flaxseeds for a nutritional boost, or use agave nectar instead of honey to make it vegan-friendly. With dried fruits like raisins or cranberries, you can easily customize it to your taste. You can even add chocolate chips for a sweeter version.

This granola also makes a thoughtful homemade gift. Pack it in mason jars with a ribbon and label it for holidays or special occasions. It’s an easy way to share a personalized and healthy treat with friends and family.

Peanut Butter Hazelnut Granola combines hearty oats, roasted hazelnuts, and creamy peanut butter for a delicious, crunchy treat. Lightly sweetened with honey, it’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a topping for yogurt and smoothie bowls.

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped

• 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cups shredded coconut, unsweetened

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

• Preheat the Oven:
  Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  Melt the peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
• Combine the Dry Ingredients:
  Mix the oats, chopped hazelnuts, peanuts, cinnamon, salt, and coconut flakes in a large bowl.
• Combine and Bake:
  Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well to coat everything evenly. Spread the granola evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
• Cool and Store:
  Allow the granola to cool completely—it will crisp up as it cools. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
