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!

Totally 🙂 I need another one of those grilled cheeses, so we’ll have to make it a lunch date!
This looks awesome! I always make yogurt parfaits, but have never tried a combination like this. And I like the idea of chewy granola…must try this!
This sounds fabulous! Definitely planning on trying it out this weekend.
I plan on kissing their faces off when I meet them at BlogHer Food! Will you be there? I’ll totally put you on my “to kiss” list. Or not, if you prefer. 🙂
Love this parfait! Gorgeous!
Thanks for linking up. 🙂
ohmygosh Karly. Why are you the funniest person I’ve ever not met?? I’m going to be so weird around you. When I think people are funny, I just kind of awkwardly giggle at them all the time. You’ll be rolling your eyes at me from the get-go! And YES I will be at BlogHer Food!!!!!! Woo hoo!
And it’s ok. You can kiss my face off. I hope you have nutella brownies smeared all over your mouth though.
Too graphic? Weird? lol…
I am so happy that you guys all got to meet! I can’t wait for June To see everyone in Austin! I think great minds must think alike I am making a peanut butter granola bar this morning! This parfait looks out of this world!
ooooh that looks really good! and I love your spoon, Target? (:
I have no idea why I have never been really into granola. I definitely have to try again with this recipe.
Awww how fun! Totally jealous, but can’t wait to meet you all in June!!!
The granola looks so stinking good…I’m NOT kidding! I love oatmeal cookie dough…not the cookies and I love peanut butter! I am so seriously going to be leaving work ASAP after the bell rings and going home and making this. I hope it is gooey…I need some gooey goodness in my life! I might even blog about it…I will let you know! Thank you for sharing. You are a gem!
I’ve been thinking of making a dessert-ish granola to replace all of the ice cream and cookies. This sounds great!
Time to pull out the oats!!
I can’t tell you how envious I am reading this. All three of you together. What fun. If I could have just been a fly on the wall. Sigh. One of these days, I’ll get to meet all of you. We love granola around here, especially my picky child. I hope she never figures out it’s healthy.
What fun! It’s such a great, diverse place. What part of Cali did you visit? And until I get a chance to make this granola (which will be soon, hopefully), I’ll continue eating peanut butter straight from the jar to keep down the cravings…this recipe looks awesome.
We went to Sacramento! 🙂
I am not a big fan of honey or peanut butter, but I love honey roasted peanut butter. I also happen to love granola, so I gave the granola recipe a try and it did not disappoint! The outsides got a little crispy, which was fine, but everything else stayed chewy, just like you said. The honey flavor was not strong at all and I really enjoyed the nuttiness of the oats, combined with the peanut butter.
So glad you liked it!!
