How to make peanut butter coconut granola

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray cookie sheet with non stick spray. Get all your ingredients ready (see ingredient list)

Add peanut butter, apple sauce, honey, and almond milk to a saucepan

Cook ingredients until just melted

Remove from heat and add cinnamon to peanut butter mixture

Add flaked coconut to the mixture. Shredded coconut would work as well but I prefer the bigger flakes. You can use sweetened or unsweetened. I don't like it really sweet so I use unsweetened

Add any trail mix of your choice. You can add more or less depending on your preference

Finally add the oats and flax seed if using

Mix until combined. Mixture will be wet and clumpy. Add more oats if you prefer a drier granola

Spread a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes stirring every 5 minutes to ensure it does not burn

When granola is a golden brown color remove from oven. Be careful it can burn quickly

Store in mason jars because it helps the granola stay fresh and also looks cute!
