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.

Hi Julie – have been silently reading your blog for a while now but GRANOLA is one of my favorite foods, especially any kind made with almond/peanut butter. I like it best plain!
Looking forward to continuing to read your stories!
In a bowl with milk!
I love granola in a bowl with almond milk! Sometimes I even make overnight oats, and throw some in for extra texture, with a dollop of peanut butter (of course)!
Mmm…Claire, that sounds like a really nice idea, mixing oats with granola…can’t wait to try it now, lush! 🙂 xyx
I love granola with yogurt!
Straight up by the handful, for sure! Usually in front of the pantry. I’m not classy enough for a bowl.
I have been loving granola on top of my smoothies latelyy!
but handfuls manage to sneak their way in there too… 🙂
I definitely love just eating granola just by the handful, but it always tastes good as a topper on ice cream 🙂
granola? with yogurt!!!! and strawberries!! really, any fruit is acceptable. by itself is yummy too!
I love granola in my Greek yogurt for breakfast! it adds the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness
I love granola slobbered in peanut butter (Pb’s the best pudding!) And also if it goes in almond milk yogurt 🙂
I love granola topped on cottage cheese and fruit. YUM!
I love granola on top of yogurt, especially greek yogurt for a healthy, well-balanced and delicious meal! I also love it by the handful, in granola bar form, on top of smoothies, or as a dessert!!!
I enjoy my granola this way:
scoop the peanut butter on a spoon and then i smush the granola on the spoon
;p
Love it sprinkled, or poured rather, on yogurt
Nothing better than adding it to a smoothie bowl 😉 and I tend to add a few almonds and walnuts as well 🙂
Definitely by the handful!
While I am not at alllll particular about how to consume it (all ways are acceptable) – I love it in the fro yo!
Straight up out of the box!
On top of plain Chobani’s with chunks of 1/2 a banana for sure.
YUM-O! Granola is tasty in any and all ways but my fave would be mixed with yogurt.
I enjoy it straight up right from the bag! Why add anything to it and risk masking its delicious flavor 😉
Mmmm…I love granola really simply, with coconut milk and a sliced banana. But we don’t really get healthy granola in the UK…yours looks lovely, I’m gonna have to make some of my own with yor recipe, I think! 🙂 Really fun reading how everyone ELSE eats it too! Ideas 😉 xyx
