Time to level up your granola with this Monster Cookie Granola. It’s everything you love about monster cookies, but in a delicious, crunchy, snackable granola.
I’ve kind of been on a granola kick lately so when I saw this over at Something Swanky I was sold. You all know what a cookie/ cookie dough lover I am and I love granola, so this one was a no brainer.
I made it and had it ready for my boys when they got home from school yesterday. They loved it, my husband loved it and of course, I loved it. It’s delicious and pretty much impossible to stop at just one handful.
It’s so quick to throw together . . .easy peasy! The only thing I would do different next time is double the recipe because it didn’t last long.
Here’s what you need
- peanut butter, chunky or smooth
- honey
- vanilla
- old fashioned oats
- miniature chocolate chips
- mini M&Ms
This granola is going to satisfy that cookie craving! You’re going to love it!

I would just like to say my kids (including my “adopted neighbor” child) love this recipe. So much for that I had to multiply it by 4 just to keep enough of it on hand to feed all 5 of them (and myself). So yummy & so addicting! Thank you so much for sharing!
That makes me smile! We love this stuff too! It makes a great neighbor gift during the holidays. You can buy the mini M&M’s in red & green during the holidays to put in it and it looks great packaged in cellophane bags with ribbon. Thanks for the sweet comment!
Can I substitute anything for the peanut butter?
Hi Helen. I’ve only ever used peanut butter, but I’m sure you could replace it with almond or cashew butter.
