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!
Peanut Butter Granola
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the peanut butter and honey in a medium bowl, and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Mix them together until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla.
- Add in the oats, and mix until the oats are coated with the mixture.
- Spread the oat mixture on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for around 17 minutes. Let cool.
- Store in an airtight container.
Say whaaaaaat?! I am crazy in love with peanut butter and am always trying to find ways to add it into my life instead of just, ya know, eating it by the spoon. Love how easy this recipe is!
Haha, although eating it with a spoon is good too 😉
My kids are huge granola fans and they loved this! Thanks so much!

I just finished my last batch of pb granola, but I actually like it better with almond butter. You should try that sometime 🙂
I love granola on top of yogurt!! I look forward to eating yogurt so I can eat the granola. LOL. I have yet to make it at home though. This needs to be changed!!
Love the simplicity of this. And true to the oats! Can't wait to give it a try!
My kids would love this... and so would I!
I am a huge breakfast person too, and I love how delicious and simple this granola looks!
I just had dental work today so the crunch of this scares me. I look again after my mouth heals. GREG
Ooh, this really looks delicious! I think I'd put it in a little bag and eat handfuls of it at work!
This is such a happy breakfast! It would definitely get me out of bed in the morning.
