Almond Butter Granola

Almond Butter Granola

This might be the crispiest, crunchiest, yummiest granola I’ve ever made! It’s easy-peasy and if you do 2 simple things:

1- Don’t stir it more than once half-way through and

2- Let it cool completely before breaking into pieces, you will have lots of chunky pieces to enjoy, almost like chunks of oatmeal cookies!

Kate’s Tips

  • Feel free to switch up the kind of nuts you use. I love almonds and pecans but walnuts, cashews, pistachios, macadamias, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds are all great substitutes.
  • If you don’t like maple syrup, substitute a good raw honey.
  • Use your favorite dried fruit. Figs, dates, golden raisins, dried apricots, dried cherries…all of those will work.
  • If you let the granola cool without touching it, you’ll get more chunks, almost like oatmeal cookies!
  • Serve as is or with fresh yogurt and berries.
  • Almond butter granola makes a wonderful topping for ice cream!
  • Use old fashioned whole oats, not the quick oats.
  • This recipe is gluten free!
  • I typically use shredded coconut but you could just as easily use coconut flakes.
  • I have 2 other granola recipes to check out: Honey Oat Granola and Quinoa Granola
