If you’re a fan of peanut butter, you’ll really like this granola! It has a great peanutty flavor! You know, I wasn’t sure that peanutty was actually a word, but it turns out it is, and it’s been used since the 1870’s! This recipe for Peanut Butter Granola makes a big batch, about 9 cups. You can use your favorite brand of creamy natural peanut butter to make this, and the recipe also calls for some cocktail peanuts, too. There’s also honey, olive oil, flaxseed, and a little brown sugar added in, so overall, the ingredients are pretty healthy!
Have this Peanut Butter Granola for breakfast with some milk or sprinkle it over Greek yogurt and add some fruit for a breakfast or brunch parfait. Or have it as a snack later in the day. You could even use it as a healthier ice cream topping!
