Peanut Butter Cookie Granola

November 24, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Happy Saturday!  How was your Black Friday?  Did you go shopping?  I’m writing this post in advance because I will be among those crazy people shopping on Black Friday!  I look forward to it every year.  My Friend and I have a yearly tradition to get our bargains and goodies on BF and since we have a secret spot, it’s never that busy!  But I think the best part about Friday is breakfast!  We go to a bistro that I mentioned before and I get my fat veggie egg white omelet with my HUGE whole wheat greek yogurt pancake.  I can’t wait!!  For today’s recipe I had you in mind, I figured your energy maybe down due to shopping and Thanksgiving that you may need a pick me up, so I have a snack that you can take anywhere with you!!

This is my Peanut Butter Granola!  It is so good and addicting!!  It’s healthy, full of flavor and has just the right amount of crunch!!!  I won a NuNaturals giveaway from Laura’s Gluten Free Pantry and when I got the gift it had a package of Presweet Tagatose in it.  I wasn’t sure what that was so I checked it out on there website and I found that it is just like sugar, browns like sugar and has no sugar in it, and it’s very low in calories.  Everything I need!!  “Hi my name is Jennifer and I have an addiction to granola”.  I can’t stop eating it, no matter how hard I try.  Why don’t I stop making it?  I can’t, I love it too much!!  So with my addiction in mind I wanted to keep the sugar down on my granola.  I have to tell you I have tried different Stevia’s and honestly I love NuNaturals the best!  It doesn’t leave a funny after taste.  You can pick it up at Whole Foods!


Did you know that November is National Peanut Butter month?  I had to be sure to get in at least one peanut butter recipe and I think I picked a good one!!  Each cluster is like taking a bite of a peanut butter cookie!  It’s darn delicious!!  I promise if you like or love peanut butter like me, then this is the granola for you!

I actually made this granola twice!  My first batch I cooked it to long and I beat it to long too!  I found the best way to make this is with muscle!  I mixed 1 cup of creamy natural peanut butter with vanilla, cinnamon and an egg.  The I mixed in rolled oats, almonds and unsweetened coconut.  I baked it for about 28 minutes and half way through cooking time I added some raisins.  I added the raisins initially to the first batch and those bad boys burnt!  Nothing like crispy raisins!  Yuck!

The granola turned out crispy, but not to crispy and I really, really love the clusters!  I could eat a big bowl of the peanut buttery clusters!  When you bite down into them, you get a wonderful peanut butter taste.  Since you mix this granola with your hands, yes hands, all the peanut butter gets incorporated together, so you never miss out on the peanut butter taste!!!

This recipe is different then my traditional granola recipes.  I decided to make this like I would peanut butter cookies and I added an egg in it.  I wanted my granola to taste more like a cookie then so much granola.  Does it taste like a cookie?  I tend to think so!!  The granola would make for a great gift to give to someone who loves peanut butter!!  For me, I’m selfish!  I’m keeping it all to myself!  I store it right in the freezer! It makes for easy grabbing and yet it’s out of site so I don’t keep eating it.  No need to defrost it, it’s perfectly tasty frozen!  I think I almost like granola better frozen, it really keeps that crunch!!

I do have to tell you the calories are a little high on this granola, but it is healthy!!!  No added sugar, peanut butter, oatmeal and nuts!  The calorie are high because your basically getting 1.33 tablespoons of peanut butter in every bite!  How good is that?  I made each serving a 1/2 cup, because I think that is way better than 1/4 cup servings that I see on packages!!!  However, I hope you can control yourself to one serving, because I can’t!!  Just remember that peanut butter is a healthy fat, full of protein and fiber and gives you long-term energy!!  I’m just nuts about that!!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
