Granola is nutritious and good for you, but can be hard to start eating as part of a consistent diet. So, I’ve decided to kick up the flavor by adding my JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter—turning plain old ‘groan’-ola into tasty almond butter granola cookies!
¼ cup JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter
¼ cup Butter, softened
½ cup Brown Sugar
¼ cup Sugar
1 Egg
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
¼ teaspoon Almond Extract
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ cups Granola
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter, butter and sugars.
4. Add the egg and beat well.
5. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
6. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined.
7. Stir in the granola.
8. Using a small scoop or tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets.
9. Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
I’m a sucker for a great doughnut, but sometimes I want to eat a whole dozen of them. My doctor tells me that eating that much fried dough isn’t good for me, but I’ve found a loophole. My Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter “Churro” Doughnuts are baked not fried. You still probably shouldn’t eat a dozen of them by yourself though.

At this point, I have to ask, “what CAN’T almond butter do?” This Korean-inspired Almond Butter Ssamjang (which translates to “sauce for wraps”) is a sweet, spicy, and perfectly salty sauce that is phenomenal in a lettuce wrap or just as a dip for fresh veggies.
I love finding new ways to get in a little extra protein. These Peanut Butter + Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes are a sweet way to do just that. These pancakes use JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter and your favorite protein powder to make sure you have enough energy to start your day right.
I like to make things my kids will be excited to try. So I added JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter and rainbow sprinkles to this Gluten Free Peanut Butter Biscotti and BAM! I present to you a crunchy, sweet, rainbow showstopper.
What would happen if chocolate chip cookies grew up? Maybe got a job at a cool bookstore somewhere? Honestly, it would be a little weird. Chocolate chip cookies are food, not people. And these Almond Butter Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies are the absolute best version of the classic cookie you’ll ever taste. They’re just as sweet and indulgent as your Grandma’s recipe, but with a little something extra that will have everyone asking for your secret ingredient.
Why wouldn’t the skeleton go trick or treating? It didn’t have the guts. You don’t have to be afraid of Spooky Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark. The only thing spooky about it is how fast your goblins and ghouls will gobble them up.
