Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Granola (your favorite flavor, preferably with nuts or dried fruit)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Butter (unsalted, melted)
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.25 cups Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, granola, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and peanut butter together until smooth (about 30-45 seconds). Stir well once melted.

Step 4

Add honey, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted butter mixture and stir until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until well-coated. If the mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of honey or a splash of water.

Step 6

Fold in the mini chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop out about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls using your hands. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one (they won't spread much).

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookie balls are lightly golden on the outside. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the cookie balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
