No need to toss those sad granola crumbs in the bottom of the bag — use them to make cookies!
You can use a single type, or mix together multiple granola scraps.
The cookies are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and are super easy to mix together.
Plus, they're egg-free and you can make them nut-free by using nut-free granola. You can also go with coconut oil instead of butter for a vegan version!
Store them in an airtight container (unless you finish them all in one sitting!)
Makes around 15 cookies.

- Add melted butter and maple syrup to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Stir through the soaked chia seeds.
