Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup quick oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts I used salted peanuts
3/4 cup peanut butter can use any smooth nut or seed butter of choice
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, quick oats, salt and nuts of choice.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter with the maple syrup until it just begins to bubble. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and combine until fully incorporated.
Spread out the granola mixture evenly on the lined oven tray and bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on the oven) until the edges start to go slightly golden. Remove from the oven and stir through the chocolate chips. Place back in the oven and continue to bake until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and stir through remaining chocolate and allow to cool completely. Once cooked, break up the granola and store in an airtight container.

Notes

TO STORE. Granola keeps well at room temperature in a sealed container for one month.

TO FREEZE. I suggest storing it in the freezer for more extended storage for three months.
