Quick Skillet Granola with Peanut Butter on Stove Top recipe

I used to buy lots of granola from the supermarket. Until I examined carefully what is in the ingredients list. I was horrified to discover most of the store-bought granola contains a whole lot of sugar, unhealthy fats and oils, and unnecessary ingredients. 

For a fraction of the cost, I can easily make granola at home! Making it myself also allows me to control the amount of sugar that goes in and other ingredients that I want.

This stove top granola recipe takes about 15 minutes to put together, incredibly tasty and healthy.

This recipe is just a starting point, you can change it up, experiment with different flavours and put in more or less of whatever ingredients you have on hand or love. It is easily adaptable according to your taste.

I like to use coconut oil because it’s full of nutrients and adds a lovely fragrance to the granola, but you can use any healthy oil you have.

I absolutely love peanut butter and this is what I use to bind all the dry ingredients together.

Serve it with milk, or unsweetened Greek yogurt, or just eat it plain. Satisfyingly delicious!

A perfect healthy snack in front of the TV! 😀
