originally posted May 4, 2011 I’ll always love the Peanut Butter Banana Granola and the Crunchy Almond Granola, but I have to say this is really the *perfect* granola recipe. It goes together SO quickly with so few ingredients–all of which you’re likely to have on hand (you can easily swap for other nuts or mix-ins.) […]
Low Cal Chewy Granola Bars
I know, I know, another granola bar recipe. But, friends, I was so excited to find not one but TWO recipes I really enjoyed. This version is completely different that the first recipe I shared, but even HIGHLY on the health scale. I made a few alterations to Sarah Fit’s recipe, but I left her original […]
Homemade “Fit” Granola Bars Recipe
I have been hunting for a homemade granola bar recipe that wasn’t chock full of sugar, sugar, sugar. This recipe using some sweet alternatives like light pancake syrup and Stevia, but besides those ingredients and of course a bit of peanut butter, these bars fit my bill. I love the mixture of healthy cereals and […]
No-Bake Chewy Chocolate Granola Bars Recipe
I am a sucker for anything remotely healthy, yet sweet and reasonably filling. These granola bars fit the bill (and they were the perfect option for our weekend camping trip). In just minutes your pan of granola bars is firming up on the counter top–less time than it would take to run to the store […]
Crunchy Peanut Butter Granola Recipe
I am a fan of all things peanut butter. And granola is one of my favorite snacks and best-ever yogurt topping. Making your own granola is not only more economical than purchasing the store-bought varieties, but it eliminates tons of excess sugar from the ingredient list. I’m all for actually nutritious granola, aren’t you? Crunchy Peanut […]

Sure enough, I fell in love with these bites. The recipe is SO versatile–I look forward to substituting raisins or craisins or chopped nuts for […]
Granola Pancakes
When Kevin and I were at our cousin’s wedding, we went to brunch at Cracker Barrel. There were many new options on the menu including granola pancakes. I was intrigued. Turns out, they are DELICIOUS and super filling. I could only eat one of my three! Last weekend, I decided it was time for a pancake […]
Strawberry Parfaits
I’m the type of person who would love to eat ice cream at the end of every dinner. But that little voice in the back of my mind keeps me checked in reality. I can’t always have ice cream. So on the nights when I decide to be healthy, I make Kevin and I a luxurious […]
Peanut Butter Granola Bars
In preparing for a long drive and a week-long camping trip, I wanted to make hearty, nutritious granola bars. This recipe is quick to toss together with ingredients you’ll probably have in your cupboard. I chose to use natural peanut butter to continue with the “whole, hearty” theme, but using another form of creamy peanut […]
Crunchy Almond Granola
I love granola–particularly the homemade variety. You can pick and choose the perfect ingredients for your granola, controlling the amount of sugar as you go. The potential mix-ins for granola are almost limitless–chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, other dried fruits, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, et cetera. So good. I have made Peanut Butter Banana Granola and […]
