The classic flavors of peanut butter and chocolate are combined in this easy-to-make homemade peanut butter chocolate granola. It is a breakfast treat that your family will love.
Homemade granola is a favorite breakfast at our house. Our new favorite flavor combination for homemade granola is peanut butter chocolate granola.
For this recipe I basically took my chocolate granola and added peanut butter.
Peanut butter and chocolate is a classic combination, so I knew it was perfect for homemade granola. Because of the peanut butter in this the granola does not crisp up quite the same as some of my other homemade granola recipes, but it is still delicious.
If you have never made homemade granola I highly recommend giving it a try. It is so easy to make at home. And because you make it at home you can control the ingredients and you know what is in it.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola
Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola is a delicious breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup oil
- ½ cup honey
- 1 cup peanut butter ( You can use Sunbutter or Wow Butter in place of the peanut butter)
- ½ cup cocoa
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 4 cups quick-cooking oats (you can use all old fashioned oats, but we like the texture with both kinds)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, oil, honey, and peanut butter. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa.
- Place oats in a large bowl and stir in sugar/cocoa mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Spread into 2 9x13 pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and stir in chocolate chips.
- Turn off oven and return granola to oven. (Yes you turn the oven off and place granola back in it. This helps the granola to finish cooking without overcooking it.)

This granola made into a crunchy granola bar…. please create that! My kids love Nature Valley Oat and Dark Chocolate but we are working on eliminating processed foods and I would love to have an homemade alternative. I love your recipes and nut-free ideas.
That is a great idea! I have a homemade granola bar we love, so I will have to tweak it to make it pb chocolate!
