Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Granola

Chelsea Colbath
Chewy granola that tastes like crumbled up oatmeal raisin cookies! Studded with lots of crunchy walnuts, held together with maple syrup and almond butter, and spiced with cinnamon, this oil-free granola is the perfect way to start the day!
Time 45 minutes
Course Breakfast
Servings 5 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins tightly packed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Put all granola ingredients into a bowl and stir well to fully combine. Dump onto the pan and spread out in an even layer.
  • Bake for 20 minutes (do not stir!), then let cool completely on the pan before breaking up into clusters and storing in an airtight container. Granola keeps at room temperature for weeks, though tastes freshest within 10 days of making.

Notes

MAKE IT NUT FREE: use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of the almond butter, and swap in your favorite seed, shredded coconut, or nothing at all for the walnuts.
