Granola
- 2 cups quick or rolled oats

- In a large bowl mix together all the cookie ingredients until combined
- Roughly press out the cookie layer on the parchement paper until it is about 1/4 in. thin.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 10 min. Take out of the oven and break up so the cookie layer is now broken into pieces. Or crush up 12 Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag.
- While the cookie crumbs bake mix together all the dry granola ingredients in a large bowl except cookie crumbs and white chocolate.
- Mix the wet ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined
- Add the crumbled cookies to the dry ingredients. Then fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix to combine. Make sure everything is well coated
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper spread out the granola in an even layer.
- Place the granola in a 325 degree oven for 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Once the granola is done, melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Drizzle on top of the granola.
- Allow the chocolate to harden and the granola to cook completely. Then break into pieces and enjoy.
- Keep in the freezer for optimum crunch and freshness
