Servings: persons

3 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Butter, Salted, Cut Into 1/2 Inch Slices
1/2 cups Peanut Butter
1 cup Light Brown Sugar
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
3 whole Eggs (large)
1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Walnuts, Chopped
1/2 cups Slivered Or Sliced Almonds
1/2 cups Sunflower Seeds (shelled)
2 Tablespoons Flaxseeds

1
Preheat the oven to 375 F and coat a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray and flour.
2
Toss the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3
Add the butter, peanut butter, and sugars into the bowl of a stand mixer and cream together until the mixture is smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
4
Once combined, turn the mixer off and pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and slowly beat until a very soft dough is formed.
5
Stir in the walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds until just combined.
6
Turn the batter out onto the baking sheet and press the dough into an even layer. The dough will be sticky and resemble cookie dough. That's OK. That's what it's supposed to look/taste like. To spread the dough out, it's best to use your hands. And it helps if your hands are clean and a little bit damp. You may need to wash them a couple of times while spreading out the dough. It's OK if the dough doesn't completely cover the baking sheet.
7
Bake the granola for 11-13 minutes. The granola will be done when a toothpick is inserted into the middle and comes out clean. Remove pan from oven.
8
Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes on the baking sheet before crumbling. After the granola has cooled, crumble into as little or as big of clusters as you prefer. In my opinion, the big clusters are the best. After you have broken the granola into pieces, it will continue to cool and come together. Just be patient!
9
Serve it on yogurt, with milk, drizzle with warm peanut butter, sprinkle it on ice cream, or munch away while plopped on the couch. Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
