    Ingredients

    • 1 cup peanut butter smooth or crunchy, at room temperature
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • ½ cup applesauce
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
    • ¾ cup flour (whole wheat pastry spelt, einkorn, or other soft whole-grain flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup granola any variety, but choose one with a nice amount of fruits and nuts, plus more for topping
    • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips optional
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
    • Combine the peanut butter, syrup, applesauce in a mixing bowl and cream together with a large fork. The mixture should be fairly well blended, but don’t worry about making it perfectly smooth.
    • In a larger bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir together until completely blended.
    • Work the granola into the batter, followed by the chocolate chips, if using.
    • Scoop the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in rounded tablespoonfuls. Sprinkle extra granola on top, then flatten gently with the bottom of a glass (or your palm).
    • Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden on top and lightly browned on the bottom.
    • Let stand for a few minutes after removing from the oven, then transfer to a plate. Store any not immediately eaten in an airtight container.
