If you love granola, and if you love a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich (also known as the good ole' pb&j), then you're going to love this recipe. My PB&J Gigantic Granola Clusters are the perfect way to have a pb&j for breakfast, or anytime that you crave it! Plus, this recipe is also low-sugar (and refined sugar-free), making it the perfect sweet treat, minus the sugar crash!
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Rolled Oats
- ¾ Cups Peanuts salted
- ¼ Cup Chia Seeds
- ¼ Cup Pecans
- ¼ Cup Hemp Hearts
- ¼ Cup Sesame Seeds
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar Monk Fruit Sweetener I love the Lakanto brand!
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- ½ Cup Coconut Oil Melted
- 1 Cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips optional
- ½ Cup Low Sugar Strawberry Jam
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 325 F.
- Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I like to spray the baking sheet first with a little oil, so the parchment paper sticks to it!
- Then, add all of your granola ingredients (minus the jam) to a large bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
- Transfer your mixture to the baking sheet, and use the back of a spoon to spread the granola mixture out evenly. This will ensure that you can get the perfect, gigantic clusters!
- Bake for 22 minutes, being sure to open the oven at 11 minutes and rotate the tray, for even cooking.
- Once your granola is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool COMPLETELY. This is super important!
- Once it's cool, spread your strawberry jam evenly across the top of the granola, in a thin layer.
- Then, break your granola into chunks.
- Serve immediately, or store in an aright container for up to one week. Enjoy!
