Healthy Ingredients for Healthy Almond Butter Granola

Almond Butter

Almond butter is one of my favorite healthy ingredients to use in, you guessed it, healthy baking! Reason being, almond butter is high in the healthy fats that help to raise good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol).

Almond butter also has fiber, vitamins and minerals that are good for you! [1] Just be sure to use an unsalted, natural almond butter that’s made with just 1 ingredient: almonds. If you’re looking for more easy almond butter recipes, be sure to check out my flourless almond butter cookies.

Nuts

Nuts are a great way to incorporate healthy fats into your diet, whether it be low in sugar, high in fiber or low carb. Depending on the nut you choose, you can enjoy health benefits such as good fats, fiber, vitamins & minerals as well as protein [2].

Just make sure to use nuts that are unsalted and not sweetened.  Also, keep in mind that some nuts have a higher amount of fat than others. But, eaten in moderation, nuts can decrease your risk of diabetes and heart disease [3]

Rolled Oats

Oats are another one of my favorite ingredients to use in healthy baking—from quick oats to rolled oats, and my all-time favorite, oat flour. Oats are such a wonderfully healthy ingredient because they’re fiber-rich, packed with antioxidants [4] and help keep you satisfied for longer.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add almond butter and maple syrup to a medium bowl. Whisk until very well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add nuts, oats, and salt (if using). Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well mixed.
  4. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the spatula, gently nudge granola into an even layer. Separate granola into small piles to create clusters. Make space between clusters to allow for air to flow through and crisp up the granola.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, gently flip granola, making sure to keep clusters intact. Bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, until edges are a deep golden brown and granola is just slightly soft. Mine took a total of 27 minutes. Granola will crisp up while cooling.
  6. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

    1. Hi Dana! Hm, did you make any swaps/changes to the ingredients? Also, have you used an oven thermometer to make sure that your oven is heating up to the proper temperature? If it’s running too hot, then it might cause the granola to cook too quickly.

  2. Almonds have a lot amount of nutrition value. It reduces your hunger and stops eating unhealthy foods. So you can easily reduce your weight in few days.
