Add lemon granola to yourcitrus cookies, and they become lemon-treehugger cookies. When you hear that a cookie has granola in it, somehow you feel like you're making a "healthier" choice, right? Use Meyer lemons, a fragrant lemon hybrid more common in California than Brooklyn, if you can get your hands on them.
Ingredients
Makes 1 cup
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Step 2
2. Toss together the oats and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
3. Whisk the zest, lemon juice, honey, and oil together in a small bowl. Add to the oats and toss until well coated.
Step 4
4. Spread the mixture evenly on a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake the granola for 25 to 30 minutes, breaking up clumps and tossing every 10 minutes, until caramelized. Let cool completely, by which point the granola should have become crunchy (it will still seem wet and mushy when warm). Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Back to TopThis recipe is a little crazy, why only 1 cup of granola! seems like a waste of oven. I normally make a larger batch but I was experimenting with lilikoi juice in place of the lemon. I was going to follow the directions perfectly, only subbing 3 Tbsp of lilikoi juice for the lemon zest and juice. It was a lot of liquid for one cup of oats, so I added another whole cup of oats. I baked it as directed, thought it needed more time, baked another 10 minutes. I'm not sure i like it yet, its pretty sweet and chewy, not crunchy. I like the lilikoi flavor though :)
