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!

step 1: remove and eat the largest chunks straight-up 😀
step 2: grab a handful of the rest and eat with a splash of milk
I love granola on top of my oatmeal in the morning. It adds a crunch and I don’t need to put extra sugar in it.
I love enjoying granola in handfuls or in yogurt mixed up with some delicious berries!
i love granola with yogurt or soy/almond milk.. and adding a little bit of berries makes it. havent had granola in the longest time because its so addicting.. just like PB.!
I love granola with yogurt and fresh berries 🙂
I started putting granola in my greek yogurt because at first the texture was more than I could handle. Eventually I learned to love the yogurt on its own, but it still reigns supreme as my favorite way to enjoy some granola.
I love to top my greek yogurt with granola. Like you, I’m a sucker for the crunch!
I love to put granola in Kath Eats Real Food’s Dough Boy Smoothie!!!

You just combined two of my great loves: almond butter & granola — this looks so good! I think Granola is good all on its own, though sometimes I enjoy it on top of greek yogurt & fruit for brekkie!
