Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

3 cups oats
1 cup peanuts
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup m&m's
¼ cup flaxseed meal
½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

½ cup peanut butter
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
⅓ cup coconut sugar
2 tbsp coconut oil or water
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
First, combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl: oats, peanuts, chocolate chips, m&m's, flaxseed meal and salt. Mix and set aside.
Second, whisk together all the wet ingredients in a medium bowl: peanut butter, honey, coconut sugar, water, and vanilla extract.
Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined. Then dump the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Pat down the granola using a spatula or spoon. You want the granola to be in a flat and even layer on the baking sheet.
Bake at 300 for 18 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the granola fully cool. Do not mix or stir. This last step is key to making large clusters!
Once it has fully cooled, break it into clusters and enjoy!
