Well, I morphed that recipe into another granola recipe today. Check this out!
Almond butter granola!
And you know what? It was just as delicious as the peanut butter version. Coming from a serious peanut butter addict, that’s really sayin’ something!
Almond Butter Granola (Makes eight 1/4 c. servings)
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp. almond butter
- 4 tbsp. honey
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds
- 2 c. oats
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine almond butter and honey in a bowl and microwave until almond butter is slightly melted (about 30 seconds).
- Stir almond butter and honey together.
- Add cinnamon and vanilla to almond butter mixture.
- Stir oats and chia seeds into almond butter mixture, completely coating oats in the mixture.
- Spread oats onto cookie sheet and bake for eight minutes before tossing oats and baking for another eight minutes until granola is slightly brown.
- Let cool until granola is crunch and enjoy!
I made a double batch of this stuff this morning and since the first one is already gone, I obviously need to get this granola out of my house before I turn into an oat cluster.
That’s where you guys come in!

tasha says
I’ve never actually eaten much granola — I suppose the kinds I’ve tried have always been too “crunchy” for me, like munching on rock candy, ha! I would probably enjoy it atop my many smoothie bowls and my oatmeal cereals. I wouldn’t mind taking along a baggie to my local fro-yo place either. 😉
Bee Goes Bananas says

my favorite way to eat granola is with almond milk, but since that can be hard to portion control (so easy to eat 3, 4 servings at once!) that i usually sprinkle 1/4 cup over greek yogurt. so good!
