Oatmeal Cookie Granola Recipes

OATMEAL COOKIE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Combine oats, flax, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter and add honey.
• Once it starts to simmer, remove from heat and quickly stir in extract. Mix well, and pour over dry mixture. Mix to coat thoroughly, and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until done.
• Allow to cool completely, break into large pieces and store in an airtight container.
• *Note - granola nuggets form better if you stir the granola as little as possible while baking, and don't stir it at all while it's cooling.

HEALTHY GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
• Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
• Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
• Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don't want extra-clumpy granola.
• Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt butter and mix with sugar and brown sugar in large bowl until sugars are dissolved.
• Add vanilla and egg and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt.
• Add dry ingredients to the bowl with the butter mixture.
• Add granola and mix until a dough forms.
• Drop by rounded tablespoonful onto a greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350. Bake for 10 minutes for a chewier cookie and 12 minutes for a crunchy cookie.

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add the oats, and toss until evenly coated. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake the oat mixture until golden and toasted, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring about halfway through. Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Stir in both kinds of raisins. (The granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.)

GRANOLA-RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the granola, raisins and peanuts. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are lightly browned around edges. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

GRANOLA COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, place the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until lightened in color and smoothly combined.
• Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and beat to combine. Stop the mixer to scrape down the bowl again as needed.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the top.
• Sprinkle on the flour. Mix on low speed, just until the dough comes together and all bits of dry flour disappear.
• By hand or with the mixer on low, gently stir in the granola, chocolate chips, cranberries, and nuts.
• Portion the batter by generous ¼-cup-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, placing each cookie about 2 inches apart. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie a little bit (they will not spread much during baking).
• Bake the granola cookies for 10 to 13 minutes, until lightly browned and dry to the touch at the edges and still slightly soft and the centers. The cookies will look a little underdone in the middle, but do not over bake or they will be dry. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then gently transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. (I slide the parchment paper straight onto the rack).

GRANOLA-CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda, stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the granola, chocolate chips and peanuts. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are lightly browned around edges. Remove cookies to wire racks and allow to cool.

• In another bowl, beat butter, shortening and sugars until light and creamy. Then add the eggs one at a time until they are blended. Add the vanilla beat until well blended, about a minute.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. When dough is well blended, fold in fruit, oats and granola. Break your granola into manageable pieces if needed.
• Drop by rounded teaspoon onto pan. We lined our pans with wax paper but whatever you choose to do to your pans is up to you. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Oven temps vary, so keep an eye on your cookies !
