Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

3 cups chex cereal I used corn
2 cups oats
1 cup peanuts
1 cup raisins
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup flaxseed meal
¼ cup coconut sugar

Wet Ingredients

¾ cup creamy natural peanut butter
⅓ cup melted butter or ghee or refined coconut oil
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup jelly optional
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a very large bowl, add all your dry ingredients: chex, oats, peanuts, raisins, dried cranberries, flaxseed meal, and coconut sugar. Mix until combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all your wet ingredients until fully combined: peanut butter, melted butter, maple syrup, jelly, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until combined and smooth.
Now pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until all the dry ingredients are coated.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat it down in a flat layer using a spoon or spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the pan in the oven to fully cool. This will take about an hour or two. This step is key if you want granola clusters!
Once the granola has fully cooled, break it into pieces and enjoy! Store left over granola in an airtight container in the fridge.
