Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola! 6 ingredients, super peanut buttery, and perfectly salty-sweet! #vegan #chocolate #glutenfree #minimalistbaker

Peanut butter and chocolate just go together. Can we agree on that?

OK, then we can move onto how DELICIOUS this granola is! Perfectly crisp peanut buttery oats sprinkled with dairy-free chocolate chips. It’s like Christmas in the mouth.

This granola is my simplest yet! Mama so proud.

Just 6 ingredients and about 30 minutes required. And you likely already have all the ingredients you need on hand! Those are the best kind of recipes, no?

The process is simple:

Stir oats and sugar
Warm peanut butter, olive oil and maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
Pour on oats and toss
Bake until golden brown
Cool and add chocolate chips!

Then you get to experience the goodness that is Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola. (A little secret? It’s basically like eating a candy bar for breakfast – THE GREATEST.)

If you’re a peanut butter lover you’re going to flip over this granola. It’s

Crunchy
Savory
Peanut buttery
Perfectly sweet
Studded with chocolate chips
Full of fiber and protein (you know, healthy!)
Super satisfying
A healthier dessert
& Kind of perfect

It also makes a great gift for fellow peanut butter chocolate fiends. I gifted some of this batch to my birthday twin, Bet. I think she was pretty stoked (or she’s a really good liar). Don’t tell her but I kept half for myself. What? It was my birthday, too!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola

6 ingredient crispy peanut butter granola sprinkled with dark chocolate chips! Simple, fast and seriously satisfying.
Author: Minimalist Baker
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 10 (1/3-cup servings)
Category: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan
Freezer Friendly 3 months
Does it keep? 2 Weeks

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 3 heaping cups rolled oats (gluten-free for GF eaters)
  • 2 Tbsp organic cane sugar (or sub granulated)
  • 1/4 cup olive, avocado, or melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup creamy natural salted peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar (or sub honey if not vegan)
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free dark or bittersweet chocolate chips (minis would work great, too!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (171 C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and sugar. (Note: this helps add an extra crispiness to the final product and sweetens it up a bit more. But if you're sugar conscious, it's optional. However, I recommend it!)
  3. Warm peanut butter, oil, and maple syrup or agave in a small skillet or saucepan until thoroughly combined and pourable.
  4. Pour over oats and quickly toss/stir to combine. If it appears too wet, add more oats (mine was just right).
  5. Spread evenly on a large baking sheet (or two small baking sheets) and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until evenly golden brown. Watch closely as it tends to brown quickly near the end. IMPORTANT: Toss once around the 15-minute mark to ensure even baking.
  6. Remove from oven, toss gently to release heat and let cool completely on the pan.
  7. Transfer to mixing bowl or storage container and add chocolate chips (optional) and stir or shake.
  8. Eat with almond milk - my favorite. Sliced bananas take it to the next level.
  9. Will keep fresh for up to two weeks. Freeze after that.

    Fantastic! Amazing how something so simple could be so good.

    When I made your pumpkin maple granola, it was still pretty wet and I had to put it in the dehydrator for a while. This was perfect. I turned the oven up to 350, cooked it for 21 minutes, and probably most importantly—did not use a silicone liner.

    I added some pecans.

    A silly question: why 3 cups plus 2 Tablespoons of oats? I’ve seen that in other people’s recipes. Why not just 3 cups? Or 3 1/2 cups? Inquiring minds want to know?

    I’ve always made my own granola but thought it was a lot of work for minimal rewards—never tasted that great and used lots of ingredients and was time-consuming. Yours is just the reverse: minimal ingredients and time, maximum flavor. I can’t thank you enough for getting me out of the snobby perception that a recipe has to have lots of ingredients to be good. If they are the right ingredients, masterfully chosen and executed (as you do so well, and then you write it up and photograph it so beautifully), the food tastes terrific—and it frees us up to make something else with the time we saved (in my case, it was raw chocolate balls—cocoa, coconut oil, dried coconut, vanilla, maple syrup, and chia seeds).

    We make a batch of this every two weeks–that’s not to say that a batch LASTS for two weeks, but we only allow ourselves to have it that often! I use honey to sweeten with only a small splash of pure maple syrup. I also omit the chocolate chips and add in chopped pecans, sliced almonds, and flax meal. This time I used half creamy, half chunky peanut butter and was so, so good!

    Thank you so much for all of your recipes! You are not only helping us to have a smoother transition to a vegetarian life (with 3 adventurous but vocal kiddos!), but have also made a believer out of my parents, who were skeptical to put it mildly, about the idea of drastically cutting out the amount of animal products they consumed. Thank you again!

    I’d like to know what kinds of main-dish meals you would take to a potluck? We have potluck at our fellowship twice a week and since we switched our diet I have been bringing veggie lasagna and EVOO baked potatoes. It’s getting old. I also have one soup recipe that even kids love. Everything else that I make at home are not potluck friendly.

    This is by far our absolute favorite granola recipe. I make a couple of batches of different granolas every couple of weeks (homemade granola is the only breakfast cereal we eat, I know exactly what goes into it). This one is always the one that goes the fastest, and the one I always make the most of. I have a triple batch in the oven right now, and will probably make another triple batch as soon as that one is done. This one is also the simplest one to make, which I greatly appreciate! It is so yummy! Thank you for the wonderful recipes!

      I think you need it – it helps it brown and crisp up.

    I made it but I didn’t get the same type of crunchy clusters I did when I made the Nut and Honey Coconut Granola. is it meant to be clusters or just crisp and loose?

    Not sure if it was the 100% natural peanut butter as I added about 5-7mins extra leaving it in the oven to get golden brown colour.
    Its till soo yummy though! Can’t wait to have with Almond Milk for Brekkie.

    I love this recipe. I leave out the chocolate and add a teaspoon of cinnamon, about 1/2 cup dessicated coconut and roughly a cup of mixed nuts, dried fruit and seeds – just whatever I have left in the cupboard. Bake for 12 mins at 170 degrees in my electric fan then another 5 mins with all the extras so they don’t burn but toast slightly and the fruit plumps up. Lasts about two weeks for one person and I use it as a base for overnight oats, with almond milk, with yoghurt and fresh fruit or sometimes on its own ?. I’ll admit to having it for breakfast, lunch and dinner on occasion. Thanks again for another fantastic recipe. Have shared your blog with lots of friends and this recipe in particular.

    Made this today. It is the first time I have tried to make granola! It browned a little too much on the edges when I moved it to the lower rack, so I guess it must be kept in the middle rack to avoid burning or over browning. It still tastes delicious. I added the chocolate nibs 10 minutes after letting cool it cool down, so they could melt a bit as recommended by one of your readers. I am so happy to have found this recipe, and your brownie recipe, to! My boys loved this granola recipe as much as they love your brownie recipe, Thank you so much for simplifying our lives!

    Can I use golden syrup instead for all of your granola recipes? Or will that make it too sweet?
    I have a lot in the pantry and want to use it up.

    I’m a homeschooling mom of 6, I also work 3rd shift. Everyone loves this recipe! We use it for cereal on my homemade yogurt and when it’s fresh from the oven they pick out the bigger chunks.? Love the simplicity! I make 4 batches about once a week and you better believe it goes fast. They’re not shy about reminding me to make more, either.? So thanks for the great recipe!

    This sounds so good! I’m planning to make this as a Christmas present for my friends. As I’ll see most of them this weekend for the last time before the holidays, I wanted to make the granola some time this week. Do you have any suggestion on how to make it stay crisp for as long as possible? I considered freezing it at first, but then I wasn’t sure if it’ll turn soggy after defrosting. Will an airtight container do? Thanks so much!

    Btw, I’m a huge fan of your new cookbook. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes with us! Greetings from Germany :)

      Ni Nadine! To keep it crispy make sure to bake it til golden brown then let cool completely. Store at room temp in a sealed container up to 1 week. OR, in the freezer!

    Wow, what a delicious recipe! I first made it as written, then made with my own preferences. The second time, I used canola oil and added about a 1/2 cup each of peanuts and sunflower seeds (I didn’t increase the liquid). I also left out the 2 tablespoons of cane sugar. This is great any way you make it, I’m so glad to have the recipe!

    I did a general Google search for a vegan, PB and choco, granola recipe. This one looked the best to me. Google has brought me to you now a few times for vegan recipes – I understand why! Love your recipes – they’re user-friendly and delicious! Thanks for being you and putting your stuff out there! <3
    Looking forward to making this PB and choco granola!

    I just made this, it turned out great! Here are gram measurements in case you hate doing dishes like me – just put the saucepan right on the scale and shovel everything in.

    270 g oats
    2 tbsp sugar
    54 g oil
    66 g peanut butter (I put more – 85g)
    85 g honey
    50 g chocolate chips

    I also added some salt since my peanut butter doesn’t have any.

    Turned out delicious!

    Hi, there! I made this on Saturday and it is YUMMY! I really like the crunch that the granulated sugar gives. I made it with coconut oil, as I have a jar of it and want to use it up. While I like the flavor overall, I think I’ll use olive oil next time; I find the coconut taste takes away from the peanut butter. However, I bet it would be superb in your Almond Joy granola, which is next on my list!

    I also added the chocolate while the granola was still warm, to spread it all around (great idea!).

    I made this last night after getting really tired of going to the one store that was within 10 miles of my house.
    A google search landed me here.
    I read the reviews and accompanying tweaks made to this recipe and headed to the nearest grocery store.
    I was shy the two tbsp of oats.
    I followed the directions to a t. The only sub I made was – dark chocolate chunks
    The granola is beyond good and oh so much better than store-bought. And lots cheaper too!
    I love peanut butter and chocolate so much – good by the handful – or with yogurt.
    Pure heaven.

    Lovely granola, I always thought it was tedious to make, but I had so much fun and the whole family loved it. For people who – like me – have a peanut allergy, I subbed cashew nut butter, and it came out great!

    delicious, easy, and so light! i may add a little vanilla next time (with the melted components) to really give it that dessert-ish feel, and potentially some flaked coconut to play with the flavors, but i definitely recommend this as-is as well. :)
