Oil-Free Almond Butter Granola

This easy to make and budget-friendly granola is all of the things. Great sprinkled on yogurt, topped over ice cream, or simply in a bowl with non-dairy milk. That’s all I’ve got to say about this and the reason is I have to get back to making another batch because we devoured it in a few days. Recipe below and let me know if you love it!

Ingredients

Scale

7 overripe bananas

15 Medjool dates, pits removed

1/4  cup almond butter

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup maple syrup

6 cups rolled oats

1/4 cup almonds

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup dried blueberries

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375*

In the bowl of a food processor, add the bananas, dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend to combine. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add in the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. If the mixture is too wet, add 1/2 cup of oats at a time. Too dry add another mashed banana.

Spread the mixture out onto parchment lined cookie sheets and bake for 20 minutes. I used 3 cookie sheets and both my ovens. Once finished, turn down your oven to 220*. Let the granola cool and once cooled break into pieces. Place large pieces into the food processor and pulse one or two times. Dump onto the cookie sheets again and rebake for a total of 45 minutes. You may have to bake a bit longer depending on your oven. Once crisp to the touch, remove from the oven and let cool for an hour. Break in to pieces again and store in large glass jars. Happy Eating!
