How to Eat This Homemade Chewy Peanut Butter Granola

I mean, sure– it’s granola. How hard can it be to figure out how to eat it? I know. But believe it or not, my family actually does have a few creative ways that we like to eat this granola!

  • On yogurt, with chocolate chips. Obviously.
  • On Apple Nachos! Slice a Granny Smith Apple and drizzle it with melted peanut butter (or Nutella!) and crumble some granola on top. I add chocolate chips too.
  • Make snack balls. Simply roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls, and keep them in the fridge instead of baking. Grab one or a few for delicious on-the-go snacking filled with protein and fiber!
  • Make MONSTER COOKIE snack balls. Do the same thing as the last bullet point, but also mix in some mini M&MS. It’s ridiculously good.
  • Sub almond butter and add coconut and chocolate chips for something along the lines of an almond joy. Check out these Almond Joy Granola Bites for a recipe.
  • Eat it plain. Because it basically tastes like a cookie ????.

How to Make Homemade Chewy Peanut Butter Granola

It’s embarrassingly simple to make this granola, but I made this video anyway to show you how. Just for fun ????. Please note– you DO NOT need a stand mixer to make this recipe. I just bought a new glass bowl for my KitchenAid and wanted to use it in a video. But seriously, there is no need to bust out a stand mixer if you’ve got a bowl and spoon. I promise!
