The peanut protein granola is without added sugars, crunchy, and very flavorful.
Perfect in yogurt and milk coffee, I started making this granola after buying one at the supermarket that I didn’t like at all.
What didn’t I like about the purchased one? The plastic taste. I expected to distinctly taste the peanuts, to find good chocolate, and instead, I was disappointed!
Not to mention the exorbitant cost for 250 g of product.
My peanut protein granola is very flavorful! First of all, it contains both peanuts and peanut butter; then I’ve also added my beloved hazelnuts and chocolate chips, finishing it all with 100% natural apple mousse without sugars.
Yes, it’s true, you’ll need to turn on the oven for a few minutes; but the amount of product that comes out is enough for 10 days, and, moreover, we know what we put in and, if desired, we can modify the ingredient quantities to have granola more suited to our palate.
Mine is undoubtedly this one, which I alternate very willingly with the one without added sugars, making my morning breakfasts or snacks truly enjoyable.
