think oatmeal raisin cookies but made with clean ingredients so that it can now be a healthy breakfast! an easy, tasty and versatile recipe to have for breakfast.
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. cover with nonstick spray (my favorite to use in baking is a coconut oil spray)
in a mixing bowl, add in your oats, raisins, vanilla extract and cinnamon
melt nut butter with the maple syrup for about 30 seconds to help thin out
pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until the rolled oats are fully coated
spread into an even layer on your prepared baking sheet
bake for about a total of 25 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. Once the granola has baked for 25 minutes, check it continuously to ensure the granola doesn't burn. the timing of this highly depends on the strength of your oven!
you know the granola is done when it has a nice, golden color and the oats are not raw
let cool and break into large chunks
enjoy on it's own or with milk, yogurt or in a smoothie bow.
