Have you ever had one of those days in the kitchen when things just don’t go as planned? Well I had one of them yesterday and it wasn’t pretty. The cookies I was so excited to share today, yeah well they were a big huge FLOP! Not sure what happened but I’m going to attempt them again. So instead of cookies, you’re getting a yummy granola recipe today.
I absolutely love granola, especially homemade granola. I love just eating it by the handful, on yogurt, with milk . . . love, love, love it!
When I saw this recipe for chewy peanut butter granola, I couldn’t wait to try it. I wanted it to be crunchy so I baked it longer and also added some coconut. It is absolutely delicious. I know what I will be having for breakfast today.
