This indulgent cookie-inspired granola is rich, crunchy, and loaded with warm vanilla flavor and melty chocolate chips. With buttery notes and a hint of cashew, it tastes like a classic chocolate chip cookie in crisp, snackable form—perfect for breakfast, desserts, or straight from the jar.

Ingredients

• 9 cups old-fashioned oats
• 2 tsp salt
• ½ cup butter, melted
• ½ cup cashew butter, warmed
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F if your oven runs hot).
2. In a large bowl, mix the oats and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, warmed cashew butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the oats and salt, and mix until everything is well coated.
5. Divide the mixture evenly between 2 rimmed sheet pans and spread into an even layer.
6. Bake in 10-minute intervals, stirring each time, for up to 40 minutes total. Remove early if the granola is golden brown.
7. During the last 10-minute interval, add the chocolate chips (1 cup per pan) and gently mix. Finish baking the last 10 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and do not stir so the chocolate chips remain intact.
9. Let granola cool completely, then enjoy!
