“Oreo” peanut butter cookie homemade granola

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!

6. 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.
