I am always looking for more creative ways to spice up my homemade granola, and finding something that tastes like a popular treat is always a bonus. I actually stumbled upon this accidentally, just mixing chocolate and peanut butter and making some tasty granola.
It’s been awhile since I have had an Oreo, but this granola definitely reminded me of one, so….
“Oreo” peanut butter cookie granola was born!
"Oreo" peanut butter cookie homemade granola #glutenfree
Author: Kim
Ingredients
- 6 cups gluten-free oats
- 6 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ⅓-1/2 cup maple syrup
- ½ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ¾-1 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Set oven to preheat at 330 degrees
- Heat peanut butter, applesauce and maple syrup in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat. Stir frequently until fully blended and peanut butter is melted.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl (and I mean large) mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread ⅓ of the ingredients onto the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then mix the granola around on the pan and bake for another 10-15 more.
I avoid grains most days but every once in awhile I do grab a handful of this.
Because I can.
And it’s tasty.
DELICIOUS! My husband would love to take this to work to snack on! Thanks Kim!
You are welcome, it’s yummy! Not too sweet, but just enough. You can go on the higher end of the sweet ingredients if he likes it more sweet.
Could use honey instead of the maple syrup? Just wondering…
It looks tasty, for sure!
this looks good Kim. Wanna come to my house and make me some?
I want this but without peanut butter! Yum!
