Almond Butter Granola

Don't you love it when you can re-create your favorite foods in a healthy way at home. Next to hot oatmeal, this Almond Butter Granola is one of my favorite weekday breakfast foods.

A couple of days ago I already told you about my almond butter love, so I thought to use it in granola similarly to my peanut butter granola recipe.

It came out wonderfully with just the right amount and size of granola clusters vs. loose crunchy oats. I made this a Cinnamon-Raisin version and the addition of coconut (I used shredded) rounded out the flavor profile perfectly.

But of course, as with any granola, there is playroom to adjust for your taste preferences by adding different dried fruit or nuts. Remember this Tropical Granola where I added candied pineapple pieces?

I especially love that this granola is made entirely without refined sugar - honey is the only sweetener in here!

For a quick breakfast add this granola to cold milk or sprinkle it over yogurt with some fresh fruit. Or pack it up for a snack on-the-go.
