1 egg

½ cup flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon salt

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt over the peanut butter mixture and stir to blend. Stir in the granola, raisins, and walnuts. Taste the mixture to see if the needs more sugar, as granolas vary.

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the butter onto the prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Press gently with the back of a spoon to spread each mound into a circle.

Bake until lightly colored, about 15 minutes. With a metal spatula, transfer to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
