Cookie Butter Granola
- 4 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 cup Cashews
- 1 cup Sliced Almonds
- 1/2 cups Cookie Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
- 1/3 cups Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Raw Honey
- 1/2 teaspoons Fine Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoons Ground Cayenne Pepper (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 325 F and line a large lipped baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, cashews and almonds. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
- In another small bowl, whisk together the cookie butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne pepper (if using) until smooth. The cayenne pepper gives it a nice kick, but if it's too much for you, just eliminate it.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until all ingredients are evenly dispersed. Pour the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and even it out into a thin layer. Press down on the granola to compact it.
- Bake at 325 F for 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Stir the mixture and press down once again. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the granola is golden and solid.
- Remove from oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet, then break into chunks and store in an airtight container for up to a month.
- Serve with fruit, yogurt, a drizzle of honey or all by itself! Enjoy!
