OK Kristen- just reading through this list of ingredients– it’s krispie treats meets the best kind of oatmeal bar!! with peanut butter!! sound perfect.
Thanks Rhonda!
Can’t go wrong with all these yummy add-ins! Looks simple enough to make. Never made homemade granola, but this will be worth the effort. I have a lot of the items on hand in the pantry to now put to good use.
These are really good and freeze really well too. I put them in the freezer in individual ziplock bags and grab one in the morning as I run out the door. Thanks for visiting Lydia!
