I think the title of this recipe pretty much says it all. I mean, peanut butter cookie granola…do I really need to say more? Yeah, I didn’t think so. It’s like a peanut butter cookie but in granola form and healthy! I saw a version on Pinterest but it called for all kinds of ingredients that I didn’t have on hand, so I just came up with my own version. It’s good with milk, over yogurt, or just as an afternoon snack. I bet you have all the ingredients on hand too, so you should just go ahead and whip up a batch! Enjoy!

3 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups puffed brown rice cereal

1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
