This homemade peanut butter granola is a delicious and healthy\u00a0breakfast for Wheatless Wednesday!<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought of making granola? I recently started making my own granola<\/strong>. I’m not quite sure why I waited so long, because it’s really simple to make, you can control what goes into it (most commercial granola and cereal contains so many additives, as well as corn syrup\/fructose), and save you a lot of money too! It can be great for a quick weekday breakfast, it tastes delicious with almond milk or you can sprinkle it on top of yogurt or smoothies. Yummy! Great for kids and adults too.<\/p>\n

What’s wrong with Commercial Cereal?<\/h2>\n

I read recently in the book Sugar, Fat, Salt, written by the investigative reporter Michael Moss, that most commercial cereal contain over 40% of sugar! Isn’t that crazy?! And kids’ cereal are the worst! It’s like eating unhealthy cookies! Tons of sugar, no fibre, and no nutrition. It’s basically cardboard covered in sugar to which they need to add synthetic vitamins in order to pass as “food”. It’s not to say there aren’t good brands out there (I have seen a few), but I stopped eating store-bought cereal a while ago because I think it’s way too processed, on top of all the unknown additives, and the overuse\u00a0of sugar. But, once in a while, it’s a nice treat, so I started making my own. (I do occasionally buy a box of natural\/organic cereal, maybe once a year, and I usually find it way too sweet! haha)<\/p>\n

So I made a big batch of this homemade granola recently and stored it in a large glass container in the pantry. It easily keeps fresh for 3-4 weeks, so that’s a great return with not a lot of time investment! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
