PB Chocolate Chip Granola {crock-pot recipe}

Instructions

1. Lightly grease the crock-pot with butter. Add the oats to the crockpot. In a small glass bowl, combine the honey, peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla. Microwave for 60 seconds, stir and microwave 30 more seconds (only if needed), just until everything has melted. Stir to combine. (In lieu of a microwave, this can easily be done in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently.)
2. Pour the liquid over the oats in the crockpot and stir very well to thoroughly coat all the oats. Place the lid on the crockpot, leaving it slightly vented (as pictured) with a chopstick or wooden spoon.
3. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes and then stir very well, being careful to scrape the sides and the bottom of the crock-pot. Cook an additional 15 minutes and stir again. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it next to the crockpot. Cook 15 minutes more and stir one more time.
4. Spread the granola across the baking sheet and stir in half of the chocolate chips and toffee bits. Let cool for 20-30 minutes. Stir in the rest of the chocolate and toffee. Let cool completely and transfer to an airtight container. Enjoy!
