In a bowl, measure out 6 cups of oats.

Optionally, substitute 1 to 2 cups of oats with seeds or other grains if desired.

In a saucepan, add 1 cup of peanut butter and 1 cup of honey.

Melt the peanut butter and honey together on low heat, stirring until smooth and well blended.

Pour the melted mixture over the oats in the bowl, ensuring all oats are covered.

Use a large salad fork to mix the oats and peanut butter-honey mixture until evenly coated.

Spread the mixture onto a buttered cookie sheet.

Bake in a conventional oven at 350°F for 30 minutes, stirring at the 15-minute mark for even baking.

If using a wood stove, check every 5 to 10 minutes, noting that it may take 45 minutes to cook depending on the heat.

The granola is done when it is loose, not sticky, and has a toasted color.

Let the granola cool completely before storing in a jar.
