Crunchy, chewy, sweet and salty…this peanut butter and jelly granola is absolutely addicting! Filled with perfectly toasted oats, almonds, and coconut, along with chewy dried berries and peanuts, it’s bursting with texture and flavor. This peanut butter and jelly granola is reminiscent of classic PB&J, but can be eaten so many different ways! As cereal with milk, on top of fruit and yogurt, and simply by the handful.
