Today I made these granola cookies that Brad loves. I began making them a few years back when I was trying to help Brad control his sugar intake. Now I'm not saying these are sugar free, but they sure are better than the bowl of ice cream that Brad was used to having every night!!
I think these are great for kids too. Please let me know if you try them and what your family thinks of them. Don't be afraid to mix up the ingredients. Once you have the basic method down, you can make this your own by adding whatever your family likes.
Granola Cookies
1 egg white
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup brown sugar - I use Splenda brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 stick butter, melted
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup nuts - any kind
1/3 cup chocolate chips
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and then cover it with parchment paper leaving some hanging over the edges so you can use the paper to lift the cookies off the sheet after they cool. Spray the top of the parchment lightly with spray.
In a bowl, add the egg white. Beat it with a beater until it's frothy. It doesn't need to peak. Add the peanut butter, brown sugar and honey. Add the melted butter, oats, nuts and chocolate chips. Mix everything together until well blended.
Wet your hands and put the mixture onto the parchment paper. With your wet hands, spread the mixture to a layer about 1/2 thick. Bake for about 15 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Let the granola cookies cool completely, for about one hour. Then cut them in squares.
Enjoy!!!!
Love,
Beth
