Are you ready to take a ride to breakfast heaven? Then join me on this journey with my first vegan granola recipe on the blog.

Even though there are a number of exciting breakfast recipes for you to explore, such as my favorite Breakfast Bowl: full of fruits, nuts, and with gluten free oats.

What better addition to your breakfast staple could there be than a simple 5 ingredient Homemade P&J Granola?

The preparation of my Homemade PB&J Granola is so easy and straightforward as always, no big secrets or big deals here, friends.

Let’s get started with heating a small saucepan on middle heat. Combine peanut butter, strawberry jam, and olive oil in the pan and gently warm up until the mix becomes creamy.

Transfer the mixture from the pan to a bowl and add the oats and peanuts. Mix well with a spatula or a large wooden spoon, then give it all on baking sheet prepared with parchment paper.

Bake all of this for around 20 minutes at 350 F ‘and you are done. Isn’t it easy to make your homemade granola?

Of course you can buy store bought granola but often it’s not vegan or even gluten free and it’s full of sugar, bad fat and additives. Here you totally know what’s in the Homemade PB&J Granola.

Not only delicious – low effort, high gain, you know the game friends, could it be any better? Now, you can make a big batch, just double the ingredients for more fun in advance.

Just store this in a airtight container. It will be fresh for weeks. Because you can snack it, mix it with some fresh almond milk, or just enjoy it with almond or coconut yoghurt.

With or without fruits, a good deal with so many possibilities to make your breakfast more exciting.

I mean come on who doesn’t love peanut butter and jelly? Now you can wake up everyday to this.

This Homemade PB&J Granola is your new easy Granola to go.

This Granola is not only delicious it’s full of awesome health benefits thanks to our showstar peanut butter. For more information the article “The Benefits of Peanut Butter” is a good resource.

Peanut butter is a all rounder with 2 g fiber and 8 g protein per serving. It has the ability to fill you which makes you less hungry.

Full of power benefits, this little wonder has vitamin E, magnesium, potassium and vitamin b6. You can see the beauty from the inside out straight from the spoon into your mouth, friends.

Know this fat is your friend! Please make sure to never buy fat reduced peanut butter. Because often they contain a lot of sugar and or artificial additives that make the fat reduced version appear like the real deal.

The best in my experience is to buy peanut butter made from 100% nuts – nothing else added, no sugar, oil, or other preservatives.

Perfect timing! I was just thinking last week about how I want to make my own granola. I got my gluten free oats yesterday and I can't wait to try this interesting recipe.

I made this today as a topping for my vegan yogurt and thought it was awesome! I had never made granola because so many of them call for SO MUCH SUGAR and I just don't care for that. This was very balanced and I will totally make it again - tweaking the oats and nuts but sticking to the PB&J combo! Thanks so much!

What a fantastic idea Florian!! I LOVE peanut butter so much and I really love it in granola, but making a pb & j granola is such an amazing idea. That pic of it all in the bowl with the milk closeup I just love, I could eat it all in 5 mins! So brilliant to sweeten it all with jam too, that is creative and amazing. So easy and so delicious just like you said. I totally agree too on the full fat peanut butter, those reduced fat ones are full of sugar and salt, usually!
