Scotcharoo Granola

Kinda gone crazy with the granola recipes. My friend Jen made a suggestion to have a granola recipe with butterscotch chips. Mmmm... Butterscotch... So I started looking thru cookie recipes, bar recipes, whatever had butterscotch chips. Came across scotcharoos.... Best of three worlds chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch, problem was I was out of peanut butter, I remembered I had almond butter. Figure I would give it a go, turned out pretty darn good. 

Ingredients

3 c. Old fashioned oats or gf rolled oats

1/2 c. Pure maple syrup

1/2 c. Almond butter

1/2 c. Butterscotch chips ( meijer brand is gf friendly) 

1/2 c. Semi sweet chocolate chips

2/3 c. Roasted peanuts

Preheat oven to 350

In a large bowl combine oats and peanuts. In a small saucepan heat syrup and almond butter til smooth. Mix into oat mixture. Place on cookie sheet that has parchment or a silopat. Bake for 25-30 min flipping half way thru. Take the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips and sprinkle them evenly across the granola. Let it sit til soft then gently flip the granola a couple times. ( note: do not put cookie sheet back in the oven with the chips on it) Don't stir to much, you kinda want it to clump into cluster yummyiness. Then place into your favorite storage dish. Happy eating:)

Special note: do not put in a glass dish in the fridge, it will not be fun getting it out.
