I’ve got some vegan cookies for you again for Cookie Friday! Delicious (Vegan) Granola Cookies. Easy to prepare and faster gone than you can say »Cookie Monster«! Grab a glass of almond milk and a cookie and let’s find out what we can do this weekend, alright?!
By now I already have a bunch of cookie recipes on this blog… Plenty of chocolate cookies, double chocolate cookies, stuff with nuts, berries, or fruits, with and without flour, some that contain a filling, most of them with no filling and also some vegan cookies. Not many of those though but that section is also growing… slowly.
Today I can add another recipe to the »vegan category«. Delicious cookies with granola, oats, cranberries and chocolate chips. There is no white sugar in there, just maple syrup and the flour I used is whole wheat flour. You could say those cookies are kind of »healthy«… Well at least healthier than double chocolate cookies with a Nutella filling, right?
Anyway. These cookies are truly quick and easy to make. Just mix everything together briefly, chill the dough for a little while, and then bake the cookies. If you have all the ingredients at home, you could be munching on delicious cookies in less than an hour – with only about ten minutes of actual work. Doesn’t sound too bad, right? After all, there’s no need to make things more complicated than they need to be.
The cookies will keep for a few days if stored properly. That means at room temperature and in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Not airtight, though. A standard cookie tin, like the ones you use for Christmas cookies, works perfectly here. If they are sealed in an airtight container, they will quickly turn soft. They’re already soft on the inside, after all, but you want them to stay nice and crisp on the outside, right?

1 cup (130g) wholemeal wheat flour*
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

(12-14 Cookies)
130g Weizenvollkornmehl*
1/2 TL Backpulver
1/2 TL Natron
1/4 TL Zimt*
1/4 TL Salz
100g Müsli (vegan)*
80g Haferflocken (Feinblatt)*
120g Margarine, geschmolzen
120ml Ahornsirup*
1 TL Vanille Extrakt*
40g Cranberries*, gehackt

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the granola/muesli and rolled oats and mix in. Melt the margarine and mix with the maple syrup and vanilla extract in a second bowl. Mix with the dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the dried, chopped cranberries and chocolate chips and place in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a spoon or cookie scoop* to place small amounts of dough on the baking sheet with some space in between. Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes until the edges get some color, but the centers are still soft. Take them out of the oven, let them cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer them to a wire rack and let cool down completely.

Die geschmolzene Margarine mit dem Ahornsirup und Vanille Extrakt in einer zweiten Schüssel verrühren und dann mit den trockenen Zutaten verrühren. Die Cranberries und Schokoladendrops unterheben und dann alles für etwa 20 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.
2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und dann mit einem Esslöffel oder Cookie Scoop* Teigportionen mit etwas Abstand auf das Blech setzen. Die Cookies für etwa 10-12 Minuten backen, bis die Ränder etwas Farbe bekommen, die Mitte der Cookies aber noch weich ist. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

This is a really good recipe and I’ll make it again. I made a few alterations because of lockdown and not having all the ingredients, but it seems to be a pretty flexible recipe. I used white self raising flour and left out the baking powder+soda. I used honey instead of maple syrup (I’m not vegan) and I used coconut oil instead of margarine. I didn’t have any cranberries or dried fruit so I added desiccated coconut and mixed seeds. I was really surprised at how nice they are. I think your volume/weight conversion is a bit off because quarter of a cup of rolled oats was 45g for me, not 80g. Anyway, thanks for the recipe!
Yum!!!! Such and easy and tasty recipe. I didn’t have maple syrup but I had some leftover coconut sugar which I substituted. Thanks for a yummy recipe!!
Glad it worked with the coconut sugar!
Cheers

Great recipe. I did a fee subs based on what I had in the pantry. Coconut oil for butter. Half maple syrup and half rice malt syrup. Some desiccated coconut to make up for not enough choc chips.
Sooo yummy. I doubled the recipe and plan to make again in the future. A great easy snack for this hungry, breastfeeding mumma!
I recently tried some store bought granola cookies and have been searching for a recipe to replicate them and I finally found it!!
These are the yummiest cookies for the whole family, my daughters absolutely love them. I’ve baked them a few times now and they always turn out perfect! Such a great balance of flavours, chewy in the middle and vegan! I added pepitas for a bit of extra crunch
So delicious, thanks for the recipe :))
