Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Granola

This granola from Yammie's Noshery caught my eye because of the inclusion of pretzels. My husband loves pretzels, as does our toddler, and I thought they would add a different twist to our normal granola routine. I made a couple substitutions with this recipe using ingredients on hand, but I'm sure the original recipe is equally delicious.

Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Granola
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup almond oil
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup crispy cereal
1 cup almonds, chopped
1 cup pretzels, lightly crushed
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 250ºF. Melt the peanut butter in the microwave for one minute. Stir together with the rest of the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips).

Spread on silipat-lined baking sheet. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15minutes. Melt the chocolate chips, and drizzle over the granola. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Makes a large batch to enjoy, about 9 cups.
