Soft Chewy Cookie Granola Clusters

Toss the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Add the butter, peanut butter, and sugar to a standard mixer and cream together until the mixture is smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Once combined, turn the mixer off and pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and slowly beat until a very soft dough is formed.

Stir in the walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, and flaxseeds until just combined.

Turn the batter out onto the baking sheet and press the dough into an even layer. The dough will be sticky and resemble cookie dough. That's okay, that's what it's supposed to look/taste like. To spread the dough out, it helps if your hands are clean and a little bit damp. You may need to wash them a couple of times while spreading out the dough. It's okay if the dough doesn't completely cover the baking sheet.

Bake the granola for 11-13 minutes. The granola will be done when a toothpick is inserted into the middle and comes of clean.

Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes on the baking sheets before crumbling. After the granola has cooled, crumble into as little or as big of clusters as you prefer. In my opinion, the big clusters are the best. :) After you have broken the granola into pieces, it will continue to cool and come together. Just be patient!

Serve it on yogurt, with milk, drizzle with warm peanut butter, sprinkle it on ice cream, or munch away while plopped on the couch. Enjoy!
