Peanut Butter Granola
I don't know what it is about breakfast that makes me so gosh darn happy.
I remember some days when I was younger, it felt like I never wanted to wake up at all had it not been for the glorious breakfast food that was being prepared downstairs. Ah childhood. Those were the days...
But now when I'm waking up at 6:30 in the morning, and leaving the house at 7:30, it's almost impossible to make elaborate breakfasts, let alone eat them.
I mean, who wouldn't want bacon every morning? If only it could be Sunday morning every morning..
But a bowl full of yogurt and this Peanut Butter Granola sprinkled on top is almost as good. Actually, if I were given the option of either the yogurt and granola combo and some bacon, I am pretty sure I would go for the granola combo. It's really THAT GOOD.
This granola is so good that I've needed to hide it from myself to stop myself from eating it in one sitting. I mean, who could resist the peanut butter and honey combo? Obviously I can't.
It is also super easy to make. Made with only 5 ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes, you can really make it any time you want, weekends or not!

This granola sounds so good, especially to this peanut butter fanatic!
I love how simple this recipe is, I could whip up a batch of granola in minutes! I love my granola in the morning, thanks for sharing a new version I can try! xx
A delicious and healthy way to kick start the day and of course I happen to love both...the granola and peanut.
Granola and peanut butter are two of my very favorite things! This granola would make my morning yogurt so much more delicious...
Peanut butter? It must be good!
Nothing beats peanut butter and it gets even more amazing once you mix it with cinnamon and honey. A bowl of you granola is truly the perfect way to start off the day 😀
