Ingredients
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter*
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup puffed rice cereal
- ½ cup chopped peanuts
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- A pinch kosher salt
- A dash cinnamon
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the peanut butter into a large bowl and microwave for around 30 seconds until thin and melted. Add the maple syrup and stir to combine.
- Add in the oats, cereal, peanuts, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt, mixing with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy and broken up, about 1 minute, then add the egg white to the granola mixture.
- Stir the granola until well combined, then pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Firmly press the mixture into an even slab around ¼ to ½ inch thick.
- Bake the granola for 30-35 minutes, until crisp and golden around the edges. To test it for doneness, open the oven and carefully pinch a bit of granola off of the pan. Let it cool. If you taste it and it's too soft, continue to bake until crisp to your preference.
- Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
Notes
*The only ingredients in the peanut butter should be peanuts and salt.
