Peanut Butter Granola

Ummmmhmm. Starting the morning with hot tea and peanut butter granola. I’m going to play in the kitchen on this wintery Sunday. I have started getting the recipe cards online and will continue sharing. This one is so very simple you could make it today. I love putting something in the oven when it’s cold outside.
