Make your own granola?! Yes way! Most granolas have added sugars and a lot of fat. If you make yours at home, you can control exactly what goes into it, not to mention, it’s a lot less expensive. We use organic peanut butter, oats, and local maple syrup. Can’t get more simple. You can sub out the peanut butter for any nut butter of your choosing. This recipe was adapted from our friend Melissa Paul Goldberg.

- 4 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup organic crunchy peanut butter
