Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups of quick oats

  • A modest ½ cup of sunflower seed kernels
  • A delightful ½ cup of semisweet chocolate chips

Step 1

In a spacious bowl, blend quick oats, crunchy granola, sunflower seeds, delightful chocolate chips, juicy raisins, dried cranberries, and nutritious ground flax seeds together.

Next, in a saucepan, meld together creamy peanut butter, sweet honey, and rich brown sugar. Stir over gentle heat until the sugar dissolves, typically taking about 5 minutes. Once ready, take the saucepan off the heat and pour this luscious peanut butter concoction over the cereal mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are perfectly combined.
