Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C) and line your baking tray with baking paper.

Mix the maple syrup and peanut butter together in a pot, and gently heat on the stovetop or microwave for 20-25 seconds.

Once melted, add in the oats, and mix to ensure all the oats are nicely covered.

Add in cinnamon, vanilla, and nuts if using.

Spread evenly on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until slightly brown and crunchy. After baking, switch the oven off but leave the granola inside for another 15 minutes with the oven door slightly open.

Let it cool, mix in any dried fruit or chocolate chips, and enjoy straight away or store in an airtight container for later.
