Read that title over again and tell me that doesn’t sound like pure heaven. Peanut butter. chocolate. protein. granola. 🙌
Every time I go to the grocery store to buy granola, I am in awe at how many grams of added sugars are in those granolas and at how expensive a tiny bag of it costs! Now that I’ve struck gold with this recipe, I am no longer a store-bought granola buyer. This recipe is much more affordable, doesn’t take much time at all, and (in my humble-ish opinion) tastes even better too!
Chocolate and peanut butter is just my favorite combination of all time, so this tastes so incredible to me. But, if you’re more a salted caramel or vanilla or strawberries and cream (or literally any other flavor that protein powder comes in) fan, you can use that respective protein powder to achieve that flavor. Plus, you can use almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, etc. if you prefer those flavors! This recipe truly is so customizable!
This recipe is:
– super easy and simple to make
– very customizable to your flavor preferences
– much more cost efficient
– and has much less added sugar than your average store-bought granola!

Ingredients:
– 2 cups rolled oats
– 3 tbsp chocolate protein powder (or your flavor of choice)
– 4 tbsp peanut butter ( or nut/seed butter of choice)
