Peanut Butter Granola

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup sunflower seed kernels (if salted, omit the salt in the recipe)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey (I sub maple syrup for my vegan friends)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dried fruit, optional (suggestions: raisins, dates, figs, pears, snipped into small pieces if necessary)

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Combine oats, seeds, nuts, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, oil, brown sugar, honey or syrup, vanilla, and salt (if using). Pour mixture over granola and stir until oats and seeds are fully coated.
4. Spread gently in an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until granola is toasted, stirring gently every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan.
5. Stir in fruit, if using, and store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a month.
