Clean Granola



I can't believe I haven't shared this recipe yet!  It is a staple in our house.  I make at least one batch a week.  The kids eat it for breakfast every morning.  They love it.  I love it on plain yogurt.
Clean Granola
3/4 c raw, local honey
3/4 c 100% pure maple syrup
1/2 c peanut butter (I make my own)
4 c oats (Whatever kind you like. I like the old fashioned oats.)
1 c great quality, high cacao percentage chocolate chip, chunk, or bar broken into pieces
Optional
1 c nuts of your choice
1 c dried fruit (no sugar added)
In a saucepan, over medium/high heat, bring the honey and syrup to a boil.  Remove from heat. Stir in the peanut butter.
Pour over the oats. Stir until evenly coated. You shouldn't see any dry oats. Add the chocolate, nuts and fruit if desired. Spread on a cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Cool completely on pan and transfer to an airtight container.
You can use this recipe and make different variations, too!  Omit the peanut butter and chocolate, add vanilla to saucepan once it's removed from burner, cinnamon and raisins.  Yum!
