Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the peanut butter and coconut oil in a large microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon and salt, and stir well to combine. Add the oats and stir until well coated with the peanut butter mixture.
1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Pour the oat mixture onto the prepared pan and spread in an even layer, about 1/4" thick, packing it down well. Packing it down will help give us those big clusters!
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until golden....do not stir! Remove from heat and cool completely without stirring.
Once cooled, break the granola up into chunks and place in an air tight container at room temperature. Enjoy!
