I am a huge fan of oats for breakfast in any way or form. Whether it is traditional oatmeal, overnight oats, oatmeal breakfast cookies, or granola - they all are perfect ways to start my day.
Since the time that I made my first batch of homemade granola a few years ago, I absolutely refuse to get the store-bought kind anymore. Those are usually ridiculously expensive, laden with hidden sugar, and I've even had the unfortunate experience of stale, no longer crunchy granola from the store.
All these are non-issues with homemade granola! It's crazy economical to make granola at home, you have complete control over all the ingredients - including sugar (I prefer honey or maple syrup).
And since granola never lasts long around our house, I can be absolutely certain that it is always fresh. To make sure, we have a steady supply of fresh granola on hand during the week, I've developed a Sunday-granola-making-routine.
So I've made countless batches of granola. I love to switch up the flavors and ingredients often, but this healthy peanut butter granola with cinnamon raisin flavor combination is one of my beloved go-to's.
