Ingredients
-
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
-
2 tbsp honey
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/8 tsp salt
-
1 cup old fashioned oats
-
1/4 cup oat flour * blend regular oats in a blender
-
1/4 cup rice krispie cereal
-
3/4 cup mix-ins of choice (I used 1/4 cup slivered almonds 1/4 cup craisins, and 1/4 cup chocolate chips)
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt.
-
Microwave for 20 seconds and stir until combined.
-
In a medium sized bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, and rice krispie cereal.
-
If you don’t have oat flour, you can make it easily from oats. Simply grind oats in a food processor until they are a flour consistency.*
-
Add the peanut butter mixture to the oat mixture and stir well. It will be sticky and a little bit of a challenge to stir, but keep with it.
-
Add in any mix-in’s of choice. (If using chocolate, let it cool a little or the chocolate will melt)
-
Stir again and crumble into granola bits.
