Oatmeal Raisin Cookie-Flavored Granola
I made this recipe for my mom’s group, and it was a hit! I brought this and some vanilla yogurt. What a tasty combo!
I also had enough left to make some great yogurt parfaits at home! I have been craving oatmeal raisin cookies, and this really hit the spot!
Ingredients:
– 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
– 1/2 cup raisins
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar (if using). Stir to mix everything evenly.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil or butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the oats are evenly coated.
5. Bake the Granola: Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
6. Add the Raisins: Once the granola is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Stir in the raisins while the granola is still warm.
7. Cool and Store: Allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring it to an airtight container. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Enjoy your simple, oatmeal raisin cookie-flavored granola!
