Oatmeal Cookie Granola

You will love this oatmeal raisin cookie granola if you are looking for an easy granola recipe. It really does taste just like oatmeal raisin cookies! 

The method is very similar to making oatmeal cookies. It definitely feels like you are enjoying oatmeal cookies for breakfast.

This oatmeal cookie granola is a good breakfast because the recipe has no refined sugar. It has real maple syrup and raisins for sweetness, and a hint of cinnamon spice.

 

What else can I add to granola?

Oatmeal cookie granola is perfect as is, and I often find myself adding more flavor and texture.

For a chewy texture and bright flavor, dried fruit is my first addition. Instead of raisins, try dates, currants, cranberries, or apricots.

For more crunch and flavor, add peanuts, cashews, pecans, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.

Other ingredients I add to granola include pre-sweetened coconut flakes, banana chips, mini candy-coated chocolate, or dark chocolate chips. 

Use peanut, almond, or cashew butter in place of the sunflower butter if you don't have a nut allergy. 

 

Ways to enjoy granola

Oatmeal cookie granola is absolutely delicious with ice cold cashew milk. I also enjoy granola as a snack, dry out of the container. Granola is a perfect portable energy boost to take on the go.

I use this cookie granola as a base for baked custard.

Add a handful of granola to your favorite dairy free yogurt. For dessert, granola is absolutely delicious with dark chocolate oat milk ice cream.

For a bright fresh flavor, add fresh sliced strawberries or a handful of blueberries or raspberries on top. Make a yogurt parfait with alternating layers of dairy free yogurt, oatmeal cookie granola, and freshly sliced fruit.

 

How should I store oatmeal cookie granola?

Once the granola has cooled completely, you can store it in an airtight container. It will stay good at room temperature for up to one week.

You can easily double this recipe.
