In a big mixing bowl, add oats, chopped peanuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and mix to combine.

Melt butter in a large liquid measuring cup.

To the melted butter, add peanut butter, honey, and egg whites, and mix well.

Pour the liquid mixture into the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Tip the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer.

Bake in the oven until starting to turn golden brown and toasty looking, allowing it to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Break up the cooled granola into bite-size pieces and transfer to an airtight jar.
