- 4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup chopped peanuts
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, chopped peanuts, flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- In a medium microwavable bowl, combine the honey and peanut butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the mixture is warm and can be easily stirred together.
- Add the coconut oil to the honey and peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully combined.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the granola is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to crisp up as it cools.
- Once cooled, break the granola into chunks and store in an airtight container.
