Today we’re sharing a recipe for Peanut Butter Granola. This is hands down one of our favorite breakfast foods. If you love peanut butter and granola than you are sure to love this granola as much as we do too.
All about Peanut Butter Granola
This granola is quick and easy to make. We typically make a couple batches of granola every week for a quick and healthy breakfast. It’s a great way to get oatmeal in your diet without having to have a hot bowl of oatmeal. It’s heating up here in Texas and the last thing you want to eat for breakfast is a hot bowl of oatmeal.
If you grew up loving peanut butter cereals like peanut butter captain crunch but can’t bring yourself to eat these cereals as an adult then this the granola for you. It is definitely the adult version of peanut butter cereal but is a quite a bit healthier too. We love the clusters of peanut butter and oats that this granola makes. We typically have a small bowl with a little milk and eat it as a cereal. You could also eat it over yogurt or by itself. It’s just so delicious!!
One thing we love about this granola is that it is a make ahead breakfast option. We love being able to make breakfast foods especially that we can quickly eat and get our day started in the morning. And because of the ingredients, this granola stays with you and keeps you full until lunch time.
