Almond Butter Granola Bars

Almond Butter Granola Bars

 

We are headed to Iowa today.  After a week in Wisconsin, it is time to start the drive home.  On the way we get to spend a couple days with friends in Iowa.  My 7 year old is super excited to see his old friends again.  He has adjusted amazingly well to Colorado, but still remembers what we left behind.  I am excited to get to see my friends too, should be a great weekend.

Once we get back home it will be time to get back to eating better again.  Vacation always derails me.  I will have to stock the fridge with these granola bars again, so I have something I won’t feel guilty eating.  I have been wanting to try Almond Butter, and finally I bought a jar at Costco a few weeks ago.  I adapted another Granola Bars recipe we loved, and used the Almond Butter.  My son loved them.  I was honestly surprised, there is a lot of almond flavor, but he ate them like crazy!

Unfortunately, these do need to be kept cool, so they aren’t great for a road trip or hiking.  But they are a great reward once you get back home!

Hi!!! So I made these...twice now!!! They are delicious! The 2nd time around I used 1/2 almond butter and 1/2 peanut butter, with extra almonds. My only "complaint" is they melt so quickly! But I just have to eat faster! Thank you again for sharing!!!

Sure could! Butter or canola oil would both work equally well!
