A last-minute edible Christmas gift idea

Edible Christmas gifts make for some of the best sorts of gifts, I think. If you’ve left Christmas to the last minute, like me, you might be looking for some creative inspiration…

Well, I’ve got you covered. This granola recipe takes just five minutes to prep and less than a half an hour in the oven to cook. Once it’s cooled (which takes around half an hour) it’s ready to be stored in a fancy glass jar, tied with a ribbon and gifted to any peanut butter fans in your life. 

Easy peasy.

About these SKIPPY® peanut butter granola clusters

I’m a huge fan of granola for breakfast…or dessert (it’s awesome with vanilla ice cream!) or even in the middle of the day as a post-cycle snack.

We eat a lot of granola in our home.

These granola clusters are a little more on the indulgent side than I’d usually make, just because it’s the festive period, and, well, what with everything that’s going on in the world right now sometimes a little extra indulgence is just what we need.

If you want to jazz them up even further you could add a handful of your favourite, chopped milk or dark chocolate and some mini marshmallows too. S’mores granola, anyone?

Top down image of all the ingredients needed to make peanut butter granola clusters.

What you’ll need…

  • Jumbo oats – also known as Grade-A oats or old-fashioned oats, This style of uncut oats are milled to the thickest size and make for rather delicious granola clusters.
  • Dark brown sugar – containing more molasses than regular brown sugar, this provides a rich, caramel sweetness to the granola. 
  • Jumbo peanuts – use an unroasted, unsalted variety and coarsely chop them yourself.
  • American-style Skippy® peanut butter – the creamy flavour of America’s favourite peanut butter takes this peanut butter granola recipe to the next level.
  • Egg white – this is the binding agent which will create lovely, crunchy clusters of granola.
  • Sunflower oil – you need fat when making granola or you’ll end up with crispy dried oats. 
  • Salt – just a pinch to bring out the flavours.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls – you’ll need three, two for the wet ingredients and one for the dry.
  • Whisk – for beating the egg white.
  • Wooden spoon – for combining everything together.
  • Baking tray – for toasting the granola clusters in the oven.
  • Non-stick baking paper – because no one wants granola stuck to the baking tray.
  • Glass jar – to store the peanut butter granola.
  • Ribbon & gift label – to decorate.

Six step collage about how to make peanut butter granola.

About SKIPPY® Peanut Butter

With a US heritage spanning more than 80 years, SKIPPY® Peanut Butter maker Joesph Rosenfield revolutionised peanut butter making process. Back in 1933, he changed the formula to create a less sticky and longer-lasting peanut butter – no longer would peanut butter stick to the roof of your mouth!

The creamy texture of American-style SKIPPY® peanut butter works well in recipes – you can use it in everything from peanut butter flapjacks, an indulgent peanut butter cheesecake or even peanut sauce for a stir-fry.

Look out for SKIPPY® peanut butter here in the UK in many leading supermarkets. It’s available in both creamy and chunky varieties.
