Sweet and crunchy gluten free oatmeal cookie granola. Inspired by one of my favorite cookie combos, oatmeal and dried cranberries with toasted pecans, crisp rice cereal, and just a hint of cinnamon all coated in the natural sweetness of honey.
I've always been a fan of granola, that isn't any secret. It was one of our go-to breakfasts when I was a kid (as was gluten free waffles). I love trying new flavor combos.
So far I've shared gluten free salted caramel granola and gluten free pumpkin granola here on Flippin' Delicious. Now I'm adding this gluten free Oatmeal Cookie Granola to the mix.
Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookie Granola
Sweet, crunchy, and with all the flavors of one of my favorite cookies. I was tempted to add some white chocolate chips in too, then it'd be just like my favorite cookies, but I decided it was still breakfast so maybe I should hold off on adding extra sweetness.
Making oatmeal cookie granola is super easy! It really is just a mix and dump recipe. Mix together all of the granola ingredients, drizzle the honey and oil over the top, mix, and then bake until it is just slightly crisp.
I love the extra crunch that you get from using crisp rice cereal in the granola. Make sure that if you use a cereal that it is gluten-free, not all of them are. You could also use puffed rice, or puffed millet, or even just an extra cup of rolled oats.
I've always been a huge fan of milk in my granola. That is how I always ate it when I was growing up so there is a bit of nostalgia in a bowl of icy cold milk with crunchy granola floating in it. I love yogurt too, but sometimes I just want milk!
I've added even more gluten free granola recipes over the years. If you like this gluten free oatmeal cookie granola I think my gluten free gingerbread granola will be right up your alley!
If you are looking for an oatmeal cookie recipe, I think you'll like these super allergy-friendly Vegan Oatmeal Cookies my friend Lindsey from Veggie Balance made. They are gluten-free too, of course.
