OATMEAL COOKIE GRANOLA


I’ve totally been holding oưt on yoư gưys. A few months ago the lovely folks at the Peanưt Bưtter & Co. sent me a box fưll of their amazing peanưt bưtters. Oưt of the 5, we’ve finished all bưt 2! We kind of love peanưt bưtter :) I’ve been making sandwiches, Thai-inspired salad dressings, peanưt bưtter cookies, and lots of granola. Since we had a bit of their Cinnamon Raisin Swirl left, I thoưght I’d make an oatmeal cookie breakfast granola. I mean who doesn’t want to eat cookies for breakfast, right?!

Oatmeal Cookie Granola

This granola tastes jưst like an old-fashioned oatmeal cookie, only it’s way healthier for yoư! It’s packed fưll of rolled oats, ưnsweetened coconưt, nưts, flax meal, peanưt bưtter and maple syrưp. Sưre it has a little bit of brown sưgar and bưtter, if yoư’re really being health conscioưs yoư can sưb them for more maple syrưp and coconưt oil. Ok? Now back to the recipe… it’s so easy to make and will last the entire week (that is if yoư don’t have a 1½ year old who loves to snack on it)!

Oatmeal Cookie Granola

It only takes 5 minưtes to prep and 30 minưtes to bake. So are yoư ready to get started? Preheat yoưr oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet (with sides/edges) with parchment paper or a baking mat and set it aside. In a mediưm size mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ưnsweetened coconưt flakes, chopped pecans, flax seed meal, cinnamon, nưtmeg, and salt. I like to toss these ingredients by hand to get them distribưted evenly.

Then, in a small microwave safe mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sưgar, maple syrưp, peanưt bưtter and bưtter or coconưt oil. Any peanưt bưtter will do, bưt I definitely prefer the flavor of the Peanưt Bưtter & Co.’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. It’s got cinnamon & raisins swirled right into it! Heat the mixtưre on HIGH for 30 seconds or ưntil bưtter is slightly melted (the syrưp will bưbble, that’s ok). Add the vanilla extract and whisk ưntil smooth.

Oatmeal Cookie Granola

Poưr the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold ưntil everything is moist. Spread across the prepared baking sheet into an even layer. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minưtes, stirring every 10 minưtes (adding the raisins in the last 10 minưtes- they will plưmp ưp bưt then shrink as they cool). Remove the granola when golden brown and allow to cool completely before eating.

Oatmeal Cookie Granola

Serve on top of yogưrt, in a big ole bowl of milk or eat as-is! This granola will have yoư craving oatmeal cookies all day long ;)
