Ingredients
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 cup rolled oats
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20 seconds until it becomes more fluid and easy to combine with other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm peanut butter, melted coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and rolled oats. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture comes together as a cohesive blend.
Lightly coat a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the granola mixture evenly across the sheet in a single layer.
Bake in a preheated 325°F oven for 10 to 14 minutes. Halfway through baking, stir the granola to ensure it toasts evenly and prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp as it cools. Break into clusters if desired before serving.
Comments
This is a straightforward granola that checks every box for Charlotte shoppers: all six ingredients are stocked at any Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI without a second stop, and the cost runs roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving depending on peanut butter quality. The stated 25 minutes is honest—mostly hands-off baking—though you'll want to stir halfway through to avoid burning. The caveat is that homemade granola firms up as it cools, so batch-making it works better than single servings, and while it stores well in an airtight container, it's not the kind of thing that reheats; you eat it as-is with yogurt or milk, or straight from the jar. Peanuts are a North Carolina crop, so this is a natural fit for the region.
