1 c Natural Peanut Butter

1 c Raw Honey

1 t Vanilla Extract

1/4 t Sea salt

9 c Rolled oats

1 c Nuts of your choice, slivered almonds, pecans, walnuts, preferabley soaked) (optional)

Melt butter and peanut butter in a 3-quart saucepan.  Add honey, vanilla, and sea salt.  Stir until smooth and hot throughout.  It doesn’t need to boil.  Add oats.  Stir until oats are completely coated.  Add nuts if using them.  Mix.  Turn the mixture into an ungreased cookie sheet or 9×13 pan.  Spread the granola out eveninly and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.  It will be brown and crispy.  Remove it from oven and allow to cool in pan.  Break into pieces once it has cooled and store in a sealed container.
