It’s sweetened with coconut and maple goodness and full of protein from the nuts and seeds added. These homemade granola clusters are loaded with beautiful flavours of cinnamon, peanut butter and vanilla. It’s like the jackpot of all breakfasts because of the plethora of ingredients used.
The peanut butter and chocolate combo create a gluten free granola that is decadent and almost dessert-like. I’ve now let you in on my secret way of creating granola clusters. I don’t know but that sounds pretty easy and convenient to me. And most of the time it’s just baking in the oven. I understand we are all about convenience these days, but keep in mind this recipe takes less than an hour to make. I’m always shocked at how expensive bags of granola are because it’s quite affordable to make your own. It is 100% cheaper than buying any granola at the health food store. This granola requires 35 minutes or so to bake and then you are left with tasty granola to snack on throughout the day. It’s so quick to make on a Saturday or Sunday morning. The preparation for these homemade granola clusters takes ten minutes.Simple, flavourful and hearty to keep me motoring for the rest of the day. I’m a simple gal and I always gravitate towards my favourite vegan yogurts ( Yoso or Riveria) and top the granola clusters with fruit. It’s filling and versatile with what you want to serve with it. I tend to eat granola a lot for my lunches, even though I know it’s more typical for breakfast.You can also just leave the chocolate out of the granola (because it is added at the end) and the gluten free granola is still absolutely delicious.
If you don’t want to have chocolate in the morning or your kids to have chocolate, these peanut butter granola clusters would be a great afternoon snack. They balance each other out beautifully in this homemade vegan granola.
If you’re wanting a breakfast feast to go along with this peanut butter granola, enjoy these Vegan Breakfast Tacos and these Easy Blueberry Banana Pancakes. We all want large clumps and those are the tricks to make it happen. No one wants crumbly little pieces of granola so stick with these clusters. And lastly, add the chocolate chips (if you choose to do so). Make whatever size granola clusters you desire. Once it has baked and cooled, break the gluten free granola up with your fingers. Then take a rolling pin or the bottom of a measuring cup and press firmly down on your granola.Īnother important note to pay attention to is that you don’t flip the granola AT ALL during the baking process. So you need to pour the homemade vegan granola on a baking sheet and spread it around evenly. The main way to have large clumps is to press down firmly on it before you place it in the oven. The flax, coconut oil, peanut butter and maple syrup all work to hold the granola together so that large pieces can be formed. One of the keys to making your granola cluster and clump together is to have binding ingredients. You might even wake up before your alarm because your tastebuds will be so excited-maybe. I made Peanut Butter Granola Clusters that are bound to get you out of bed in the morning. So I thought, why not combine peanut butter with one of my favourite breakfast snacks (AKA granola). If you don’t, just know I’m very much obsessed with the nut butter.
By now, you should know my love for peanut butter.
