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 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 ½ cups Granola

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.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite snacks was fruit. But, then I started making nut butter and it all turned around. Yep, you better believe it. I started making crispy rice treats and snazzing them up with all kinds of goodies: dark chocolate, sea salt, and of course, any of your favorite JUSTIN’S® Nut Butters. Feel like a kid again with my nut butter rice crispy treats with dark chocolate & sea salt.
