Calories: 588kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups Multi-Grain Cheerios™ or your favorite kind of Cheerios™
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter I used natural peanut butter
- ½ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the Cheerios™, oats, and cinnamon.
- Place the peanut butter and honey in a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup or bowl. Heat on high power in the microwave for 30 seconds; stir. Heat for 30 more seconds and then stir until combined and smooth. Pour over the Cheerios™ mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. You will want to work quickly, as the peanut butter and honey are easier to distribute while they are warm.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake granola for 15 minutes; stir. Using the back of a spatula, press the mixture down in an even layer in the pan. Bake for 12-16 more minutes, until granola is lightly browned. Do not stir granola again, so that you end up with big clusters.
- Let granola cool completely on the pan; it will crisp up as it cools. I store my granola in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
