Ingredients
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup rice cereal
  • ¼ cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped peanuts
  • ⅓-1/2 cup strawberry jelly
Instructions
  1. Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.
  3. Put the peanut butter and honey in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until combined into a thick, pourable sauce.
  4. In a large bowl, add the oats, rice cereal, quinoa, and peanuts. Mix until the ingredients are evenly mixed up.
  5. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats. Stir until everything is coated.
  6. Transfer ¾ of the oat mixture to the prepared pan. Use a silicon spatula and press the oats firmly into the pan. You want it to be as tight as possible!
  7. Spread the jelly over the oat mixture. Be as even as possible, but you don't need to be a perfectionist about it.
  8. Crumble the remaining ¼ of the oat mixture over the jelly. Use the silicon spatula again to press the oats into the jam. This will give you a beautiful look on the top with some jelly peaking through the granola.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  11. Remove from the pan, cut into bars, and serve.
