Instructions
Making this almond butter granola bowl is a straightforward process that involves just a few steps. Here’s how to do it:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
This ensures that your granola bakes evenly. - In a large bowl, mix oats, nuts, and cinnamon.
- Ensure the mixture is well blended to distribute the cinnamon evenly.
- In a small saucepan, warm almond butter and honey until smooth.
- Stir continuously to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well.
- Make sure every oat and nut is coated with the mixture.
- Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway.
- This step helps the granola become golden and crispy.
- Let it cool, then mix in dried fruit and serve with almond milk.
- Cooling is crucial to ensure the granola clumps together nicely.
