Nutrition Notes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey (use coconut palm syrup if vegan)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, gluten free if desired
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• For the parfaits (if you want to make them!)
• 2 cups nonfat plain greek yogurt (siggi's is great because it's low sugar!)
• 2 tablespoons low sugar raspberry jam
• 1 large banana, sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or berries of choice
• Optional: drizzle of honey

4. 4

   Step 4

   Bake, stirring halfway through to prevent burning, until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the granola cool. The granola will seem soft, but will harden up once cool. Transfer to an airtight container or jar and store at room temp for up to 3 weeks.

Top with another 1/4 cup of granola plus a few banana slices and raspberries. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
