Easy Cookie Butter Granola

Homemade granola is easy to make and much cheaper than buying it from the store. This cookie butter granola tastes just like speculoos cookies, and adding whole grain oats, nuts, and seeds means you can still feel good about having it for breakfast!

Cookie butter

Cookie butter is made of crushed speculoos cookies, blended into a smooth and creamy paste. It has the consistency of peanut butter. Speculoos cookies are buttery and crisp, spiced with cinnamon.

There are a few brands of cookie butter available now, Biscoff cookie butter, Trader Joe Cookie butter, Poppy and Co, to name a few.

Homemade cookie butter granola

This granola is so simple to make. Simply combine the oats and additions of your choice, then toss them together with melted butter and cookie butter. The granola is toasted gently in a low-temperature oven until golden brown.

The oats act as a vessel to carry through the sweet cookie butter flavor. The addition of seeds and nuts added to the oats can be tweaked according to your own tastes and you can make your own versions!

Ingredients

The actual ingredient amounts for this easy recipe are written in the recipe card at the bottom of this post but here is a rundown of what you will need –

• Oats – You can use quick rolled oats or old-fashioned oats for this granola recipe
• Chia seeds and ground flax seeds – This brings nutrients, fiber, and omega-3s to the granola.
• Shredded coconut – This brings extra flavor to the granola and it goes very well with the cookie butter taste.
• Ground cinnamon – This helps enhance the natural flavors of cinnamon that are in the cookie butter.
• Pecans – Buttery and rich pecans go very well with the cookie butter flavor.
• A jar of cookie butter – The best part. Around 1/2 a cup of cookie butter.
• Butter – Butter is melted along with the cookie butter which helps to coat the granola and seeds. This can be swapped for coconut oil.

Method

Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.

Combine the oats, seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and pecans and add them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl add the cookie butter and butter and melt it together for 30 seconds in the microwave until the butter has almost melted. Whisk it together until all the butter has melted.

Drizzle the cookie butter mixture over the oats and seeds and use a wooden spoon to stir it a bit to form some clumps. Now switch to using your fingers and rub the mixture between your fingers to coat everything in the cookie butter mixture.

Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring it every 5 minutes until the granola is lightly browned and toasted.

Remove the baked granola from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature.

Storing

Once cooled the granola should be stored in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. It can store at room temperature for up to a month or be frozen for up to three months (handy if you’re making a double batch.)
