- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Begin by melting the margarine and peanut
butter together in a 3-quart saucepan. Add
the honey, vanilla and salt. Stir the
mixture until it is smooth and hot
throughout. It doesnt need to boil. Add the
oats. Stir until the oats are completely
coated with the sticky gooey peanut butter
mixture. It will be chunky. Turn the mixture
into an ungreased cookie sheet, or a large 9
by 13-inch pan. Spread the granola out
evenly and bake it at 375° for 10 minutes.
It will be brown and crispy. Now remove it
from the oven and allow it to cool right
there in the pan. Break it up into pieces
after it is cooled. Transfer the granola to
a clean coffee can or sealed canister. Add
the raisins, if you are using them, when the
granola is cool.
