I’ve been on a health-kick lately. Those who know me, know that my sweet tooth nearly has a mind of its own. Though I can eat mountains of any dessert, I know that as I get older, I need to watch my sugar intake.
That being said, I’m making a conscious effort to eat better, while still treating myself. This recipe for One Bowl Granola Cookies is more health-conscious than your traditional sugar-filled cookie. Plus, they’re SO easy to make. You’ll also love the fact that for this dessert, clean-up is a breeze since it’s made in one single bowl.
Aren’t One Pot Recipes Only for Dinner?
Traditionally, one pot dinners are meals that involve ingredients being thrown in and cooked in a single pot. Yes, it’s normally for hefty, savory meals like lunch and dinner.
However, I absolutely love the concept, so I decided it would be great to do the same for desserts, much like my One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.
…but this time, I wanted CRUNCH! This is how my One Bowl Granola Cookies came to life!
What Are Granola Cookies?
You know the granola that you sprinkle onto your morning yogurt or chia seed pudding? Well, take those ingredients plus its crunchy consistency, and imagine them in cookie form. That is exactly what my granola cookies are!
Tips for Making One Bowl Granola Cookies
When making this one bowl dessert, there are a few things to keep in mind:
The Batter is Sticky
This batter is not at all like your typical cookie batter. Don’t forget: the ingredients that make up this cookie are mainly granola ingredients, and only a couple of other ingredients to bind everything together (ie.: the egg and the peanut butter), so if the batter doesn’t feel familiar to you, it’s normal.
Why Are My Granola Cookies Are Falling Apart?
For these one bowl granola cookies, it’s important to really pack each cookie mount as tightly as possible. Also, be sure you allow them to cool completely before serving – this will let them settle and not fall apart.
How Do I Store Granola Cookies?
I recommend storing these cookies in an airtight container on your countertop for up to 5 days.
What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Granola Cookies?
Be sure to gather the following ingredients before making a batch of these delicious granola treats:
- Large oats
- Unsalted sunflower seeds
- Chopped peanuts
- Shredded coconut
- Honey
- Peanut butter
- Egg
- Chocolate chips
Can I Make Any Ingredient Swaps?
Sure! Feel free to use slivered almonds instead of sunflower seeds. You can also use any chopped nut to replace the peanuts.
For the peanut butter, we prefer using natural peanut butter. You can also use other nut butters like sunflower butter or almond butter.
