The classic flavors of peanut butter and jelly in granola form for a deliciously crave able snack. This Peanut Butter & Jelly Granola is made with just 5 ingredients in about 30 minutes.
My kids are major fans of peanut butter. They eat it every single day in some form such as a topping for oatmeal, on toast, with apple slices, and of course they love peanut butter and jam (not jelly, it's icky!) sandwiches.
PB & J sandwiches are a staple of childhood for many, myself included, and granola is a great snack that the kids love so I thought why not combine them? The result is this oh so tasty Peanut Butter & Jelly Granola.

Ingredients
This granola is super simple to make requiring only a handful of ingredients. The base starts with oats, peanut butter, and my got to sweetener maple syrup.
- old fashioned oats
- peanut butter
- maple syrup
- roasted peanuts
- freeze dried strawberries
See recipe card for quantities.
A note about the peanut butter: I used our favorite store bought peanut butter. It's made with just 2 simple ingredients: peanuts and salt. You can use the peanut butter of your choice.
Instructions
Making this granola is so easy. Stir the peanut butter and maple syrup together very well. Then add the oats and stir again. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake. After baking the oat mixture, add roasted peanuts and freeze dried strawberries for that quintessential peanut butter and jam/jelly flavor. So good!
