Peanut Butter Granola

Granola can be expensive at the store! Lets not even mention the price of cereal. With a hungry husband who could eat an average sized box of cereal in 2 days I am constantly trying to find ways to "get the most bang for my buck" when it comes to breakfast cereal. Sometimes that means mixing raisin bran with cheerios, or life cereal with granola, whatever the combination this recipe is SO easy and delicious and cheap, it makes me look forward to breakfast in the morning. Plus, I know all the ingredients in it.

The most expensive thing is the honey. The way I look at it, i'm still saving money on this granola rather than buying it at the grocery. Do the math. You could also substitute maple syrup or anything "sticky" with honey. It's all up to you! Honey is always the healthy option.
