Almond Butter Granola
Nuts and seeds are highly nutritious since they are full of healthy fats, fiber, some protein, vitamins, and minerals. This granola is a great way to satiate you with a balanced meal. You can customize by choosing whatever nuts, seeds, or nut butters of your choice!
I love the creamy and savory taste of this almond butter granola, especially in my Greek yogurt bowls. This recipe is amazing because it contains no added sugar and the combination of almond butter with egg whites creates clustery and chunky granola.
Oats: I used One Degree sprouted oats because they contain no glyphosate! The sprouting deactivates the phytic acid in oats, making them easier to digest. Sprouted oats are higher in magnesium, protein, and insoluble fiber.
Flaxseeds: Rich in protein, omega-3s, fiber, and ligans, which are all important for healthy hormones. I always buy mine ground for proper absorption.
Chia seeds: Rich in fiber, omega-3s, calcium, and antioxidants. This supports bone and digestive health.
Walnuts: Rich in ALA, a linoleic acid that can reduce inflammation, improve cholesterol, and protect brain health.
Pumpkin seeds: Rich in magnesium, tryptophan, and zinc. These contribute to healthy sleep, bones, and fertility.
