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!

Great Summer Recipes
Bowl filled with Almond Butter Churro Puppy Chow atop marble countertop with decorative paper underneath

My Cinnamon Almond Butter “Churro” Puppy Chow is the perfect grab and go snack for any activity. Made with cereal, JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter, and white chocolate chips, this recipe is sweet, crunchy, and so easy to make!

Dairy Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cinnamon Rolls (a very close up shot)

Is there anything nicer than waking up to the smells of cinnamon rolls in the oven? The answer is yes, and that’s waking up to the smells of my Dairy Free Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cinnamon Rolls. The combination of cinnamon, hazelnut, and chocolate is decadent and dairy-free. This is a breakfast treat everyone can enjoy.

Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops with chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, Justin's honey peanut butter jar and two bananas

Contrary to what you may be thinking the “PB” in this Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops recipe stands for “perfectly blended (flavors)”. Ok not really, but that doesn’t make it untrue. This recipe is tasty and a great way to stay cool on hot days. I make them with JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter, fresh bananas, and decorate them with sprinkles. It’s a great project that you can make and eat with the kids!

 

Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait in clear cups with fudge chunks and crumbs on a white background

This recipe needs no introduction, but I’ll write one anyway. There’s so many great things to say about this Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait, it’s one of my kids’ favorites. It includes a bed of rich chocolate pudding, under a layer of coconut whipped cream, and topped with fudgy chocolate brownies. Yum! Did I mention it’s Paleo-friendly? You have to try it for yourself.

 

Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter Churro Doughnuts with cinnamon sticks in the background on a white background

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.

 

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies stacked and the top one bitten on a white background with a black cooling tray

My whole life is making delicious nut butters. Is it any wonder that my favorite type of cookie is a peanut butter cookie? I do like to add a little variety to my favorite treats, though. Chopped white chocolate peanut butter cups are a welcome addition to this White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash and Brussels in a close up shot laid on white parchment paper

Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash, and Brussels is a genuine triple threat. This dinner delight is vegetarian, full of flavor, and cooks in one pan. It doesn’t take your whole day to prepare either. At any given moment, you are thirty minutes of marinating, a few minutes of tossing ingredients together, and thirty minutes of hands-off roasting away from enjoying a flavor-packed, wholesome, vegetarian meal. Seriously. There’s really no downside to this recipe.
