Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Baked Granola Oil Free Recipes

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add the oats, and toss until evenly coated. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake the oat mixture until golden and toasted, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring about halfway through. Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Stir in both kinds of raisins. (The granola can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.)

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE BAKED GRANOLA (OIL FREE)

Steps:

• NOTE: If you only have rolled oats, you can make them instant by pulsing them in a food processor or blender until coarsely chopped.
• Pre-heat oven to 325ºF. Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Line a 12" x 17" metal cookie sheet with parchment. Not recommended for glass bakeware.
• In a large bowl, mix together instant oats, flax meal, chopped nuts, salt and spices.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg whites, maple syrup and extract. The raisins will be added after the granola has baked. **We prefer a less sweet granola, so 1/2 cup of maple syrup is just sweet enough. You can go up to 2/3 cup of maple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweeter granola.
• Add the egg white mix to the oat/nut/spices and stir until well combined and all the oats have been coated. Place the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes stirring at least once mid bake. Remove when the granola is toasty brown.
• When the granola is done, remove the pan to cooling rack. Let the granola completely cool on the pan. When cooled, mix in the raisins. Store in an airtight container.
• The granola will continue to harden and intensify in flavor over the next 8 hours. Don't worry that the granola doesn't taste too sweet or crunchy right out of the oven or immediately after cooling.
• HINT: If you find your raisins are on the hard side, you can give them a perk by soaking them in very hot water for a quick minute or two. Pat them dry before using in the granola.
• Enjoy!

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment. Pour 50ml/2fl oz boiling water over the raisins and leave to soak for 20 mins until plump. Drain, reserving the liquid.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the oil and sugar. Gradually beat in the egg, along with the reserved water from the raisins, the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into the bowl, then add the oats. Finally, mix in the raisins.
• Drop heaped tbsps of the cookie dough onto the baking trays, well spaced apart as they will spread when cooking. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool on the trays for 10 mins before tucking in, or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
