Granola Recipe Roundup

September 16, 2011 by Julie 79 Comments

As someone who blogs a bazillion times a day, I sometimes get sad that the “blog air time” for some of the posts that I write is so short. Each post I write is prominently displayed on the homepage of PBF for a few hours and then simply falls into the PBF abyss of past posts.

In an effort to revisit some of my past recipe posts, I thought it might be fun to do a monthly recipe roundup post. The recipes featured may not be from the past month, but rather recipes that have fallen to the wayside throughout the two years I’ve been blogging.

Since I’m kind of a stickler for some kind of organization, the recipes featured in the posts will likely have something in common.

Today’s recipe roundup features GRANOLA!

Granola Recipe Roundup

  • Nutella Granola

  • Cinnamon Chia Seed Granola

  • Almond Butter Granola

  • Peanut Butter Granola

The best part about making granola?

You can easily eat a bunch of it and no one will notice.

I think granola makes a great hostess gift or a nice little holiday gift for coworkers. You get to eat some and then they get the rest… err… a nice gift.

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    I’ve never made my own granola before. I’ve always wanted to though. It seems simple enough. I definitely want to try a recipe of yours!

    You are right! It deifnitely makes a great gift plus you get to snack on it while making it 😉

    I gotta make that peanut butter granola sometime. I’ve been going a little peanut butter crazy lately, can’t go a day with out it.

    For someone who uses jelly frequently and peanut butter extra frequently I never see you eat pb&j’s? ! ? ! ~Weird!

    I think the Nutella is the one that still has my heart most 🙂 I’ve only made granola once, I need to change this and make it more. I always seem to have an excess of the stuff on hand so I never get a chance, but as soon as I run out, I’m doing it!

    Haha I think if I ate a bunch of granola, people would notice when my pants don’t fit – especially if I got a hold of all your granola! It looks so good!

    Don’t worry, I scroll through your previous posts all the time, they aren’t lost and gone forever in my mind 🙂 (And hopefully you don’t think I must have no life…I just find your posts to be really entertaining and you were such a big reason why I started blogging in the 1st place.)

    That is a great idea to let the posts that get ‘forgotten’ about come forward again! So much time goes into all that writing, and some of us are newer readers 🙂

    I need to try and make my own granola bars sometime soon!!

    My favorites that I make are “Aloha Granola” from Carnie Wilson’s To Serve with Love (dried pineapple, dried banana, coconut etc…) and my own made up copy cat of Emerald Berry Blend trail mix (dried strawberries, dried bluberries or blueberry flavored craisins, yogurt covered raisins, maple flaxseed covered walnuts) … no self control when I make these, so addicting!

    Mmm 🙂 I love the way the granola looks with chia seeds in it– so crunchy and satisfying!

    …Is it weird that I kind of like when it gets stuck in your teeth and you find a chia seed like 10 minutes later? probably kind of gross but i like it haha 🙂

    Great idea to do this roundup!! I’m definitely going to steal some of the recipes. I’ve been wanting to make my own granola for a bit of time right now but no recipe had convinced me yet — there are quite a few here that I’m gonna bust out!

    I’ve never made my own granola! I’m kinda shocked to realize that actually and considering I just ran out of the last kind I bought at the bulk bins, I may have to make one of these.

    I love this idea, and I agree that it would be a great gift; especially for the coming holidays. Do you think a peppermint bark themed granola could work… white chocolate and peppermint extract, maybe?

    Which one do you think would be the best for a bake sale? Is it ok with you if I make it and include the recipe with your website, of course? The sales are being donated to United Way.
