Peach Cobbler Granola
Simple seasonal granola that is perfect for summer!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- 2 ½ cups puffed rice
- 2 cups chopped nuts I used walnuts and sliced almonds
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ tbsp cinnamon
- 4 ripe peaches
- 2 tbsp maple syrup more or less depending on your sweetness preference
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- preheat oven to 300°
Peach mash
- cut up peaches into small cunks and place in a small pot
- heat over med-high heat to reduce the peaches
- while they are heating, mash the peaches with a fork or a masher
- once they are well reduced (a lot of liquid is gone) remove from heat and mash some more to remove as many large chunks as possible
- add vanilla and maple syrup to the peach mash
Combining
- combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl (oats, puffed rice, nuts, chia seeds, salt, cinnamon)
- add olive oil to the dry ingredients
- pour reduced peach preserve over the mixture
- spread peach mixture into dry ingredients thoroughly. You will need to use two spoons to combing the peach and the dry ingredients. Try to get an even spread, there will be some chunks with peach preserve but that is okay.
- once combined, spread the granola evenly on a baking sheet
- bake the granola for 40-45 minutes at 300°. Remove and toss every 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown!!
Notes
*Once it is completely cooled, you can store in a container in the fridge to preserve freshness!
