Ingredients

Cook Mode Cooking Mode Disabled

Servings

• 1.5 cups gluten free large flake oats (aka rolled oats)

• 1.5 cup gluten free quick oats (or replace with large flake oats)

• 2 tbsp ground flax seeds

• ¹⁄₄ cup hemp seeds

• ³⁄₄ cup raw whole almonds

• ³⁄₄ cup raw pecans chopped

• ¹⁄₄ cup raw walnuts chopped

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tsp ground nutmeg

• ¹⁄₂ tsp ground ginger

• ¹⁄₂ cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes

• ¹⁄₂ tbsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of ground cloves

• ¹⁄₂ tsp salt

• ¹⁄₄ cup extra virgin olive oil

• ¹⁄₃ cup maple syrup

• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

• ¹⁄₄ cup cookie butter of choice ((I used Biscoff butter, for GF options use a GF cookie butter))

• ¹⁄₄ cup cashew butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flax seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, pecans, walnuts, chia seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir everything together so the spices evenly coat the dry ingredients.
3. In the same bowl, add the olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cookie butter, and cashew butter. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture. The granola should have a slightly sticky consistency.
4. Transfer the granola mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer and pressing it down firmly to create those big granola chunks. Bake for 18-22 minutes. The granola is done when it looks golden brown and slightly crisp.
5. Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
6. Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and transfer it to an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks at room temperature. Enjoy it as a snack, on yogurt, or with your favorite plant-based milk!
