My best friend loves granola, and her boyfriend is a peanut butter fiend, so I decided early in the holiday season that their Christmas gift would include peanut butter granola. Most of my attempts yielded granola that had a nice crunch, but very little peanut butter flavor; the more peanut butter I added, the less crunchy the granola. After tweaking and trying and cussing and buzzing through more oats than anyone should, I finally got a result that I'd be glad to share. The texture is tender but crunchy; it's nicely sweet, but less sweet than you'd expect. The recipe also works well by subbing almond butter and chopped almonds for the peanut products.
