Monster Cookie Granola
Level up your granola with this Monster Cookie Granola. Everything you love about a monster cookie, but in crunchy snackable granola form. I love it in my vanilla Greek yogurt, but is great just on it’s own as a snack. It would also be real tasty mixed into some vanilla ice cream for a little treat!
Here’s what you need
- oats
- peanut butter
- honey
- vanilla extract
- mini m&m’s
- mini chocolate chips
- toasted almonds
Mix everything in a large bowl to coat and combine. This makes about two large baking sheet pans, so the recipe could easily be cut in half if you want a smaller portion.
Spread onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake until golden! It’s important to let it cool completely, it will crisp and firm up as it cools.
This Monster Cookie Granola will satisfy that cookie craving! Perfect packable snacks for kids AND adults. Just store in an air-tight container.
Hello delicious cluster! You can break up any larger clusters once everything cools. I love this granola in my Greek yogurt for a snack, yum!

Recipe Notes
I used an all natural peanut butter, but any variety would work. A crunchy peanut butter would be good too for added peanut chunks.
