Barney Butter Granola

August 22, 2011

1/3 cup Barney Butter

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup pecans, broken into smaller pieces

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine cinnamon, oats and pecans. Stir. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt Barney Butter and honey. (You can do this in the microwave, in a microwavable bowl too.) Remove from heat, add vanilla and stir to combine. Pour mixture over oats and pecans and, using a spatula, stir to coat.

Spread granola on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 8 minutes.

Toss granola and bake for an additional 4 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely before transferring to storage container and adding chocolate chunks.
