Granola Cookies
I love these granola cookies! They’re crunchy, wholesome, and are really just a more compact form of granola in a handheld form!
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup peanut butter or any nut butter
- ¼ cup almond milk or any non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chopped pecans or any nuts
- ½ cup raisins or any dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
- In a separate, large, microwave-safe bowl, add maple syrup, peanut butter, milk, oil, and vanilla. Heat for 15 seconds and then whisk vigorously until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and fold together. Add the pecans and raisins and fold together until just combined.
- Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out 12 cookies. Shape them into discs and arrange them 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
Notes
Tips
- Storage: Kept at room temperature in a partially open container, these cookies will keep for up to a week!
- Make them smaller. For a smaller cookie, use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop and reduce baking time to 10-12 minutes. These cookies don’t spread much which is why we form them into the shape preferred and is why I went with 3 tablespoons
- Don’t store tightly sealed: These granola cookies have a great crunch to them that will remind you of granola. But I noticed that when I stored them in a sealed container, they became super soft the next day. I tested some in a bag partially opened and that helped maintain their texture.
