Here it is you guys. Finally I was able to make this Cool Mint Oreo Granola and get it down into a blog post!
It is Teacher Appreciation Week and the theme at my child’s school was baking. I was like, YES! I can do that. Day one we could share a recipe, so I jotted this recipe down and gave it to my daughter’s teacher. Day two was send in a baked good or something like that. So I thought how perfect would it be if I baked the recipe I sent so they could actually taste what they were getting.
Since this doesn’t really require any actual baking I still thought it would a great recipe and gift to give. My daughter said her teacher ate it for snack, so I hope she like it!
I had made these Cool Mint Oreo Granola Bars for you some time ago. I absolutely love the Cool Mint Oreos. Don’t get me wrong, any Oreo is good, these by far are just my favorite! ENJOY!

Ok, that is how I make no bake granola bars…why have I never thought to make it into granola??? That is an awesome idea 🙂 And I love the mint Oreos in this…yum!!!
Nancy P.
Thanks, Jocelyn. It just kind of happened. I made a pan for the purpose of granola bars and the whole pan turned out crumbly and it would not stay together. So I said well, I guess we have just granola. The entire family loves it!

Is this a good gift idea? To put in mason jars or is it quickly perishable?
Thanks!! Looks delicious
Nancy P.
I have kept it up to a week and have also frozen it for about 2 weeks. I think you can put it into a mason jar as a gift. It has just never lasted longer in our house because we eat it so fast. But it is good for at least a week!
