Friends, please pardon my current obsession with all things almond butter. Somehow it’s ending up in everything I make right now and I’m totally just an innocent bystander.

…and yeah, even when I have my spoon in the jar.

I’m telling you, I might love this stuff even more than peanut butter. Is that alarming? Maybe we should have an Almond Butter Intervention for me and others in my current state of almond butter insanity.

Or…maybe we could just forget about the actual intervention and instead eat almond butter chai spice granola for the rest of our lives and just accept the fact that there’s no changing an almond butter addict.

So heck, let’s put it in anything and ALL the things!

First up were brownies, rolling in second is granola because healthy season is in FULL swing now! Let’s do this whole diet thing, 2016!

As with nearly all my homemade granola recipes, this one is based off of the grandfather of ALL granola. Only today, we’re employing the valuable services of creamy almond butter and chai spice (homemade!) to step up the OOMPH flavors.

Heavens, yeeeeees. ♥

Sweet ‘n’ spiced. Ultra-crispy from the almond butter. The bomb-diggity with yogurt, milk…and by the XXL handfuls? 100 percent dangerous.

Gah. Best decision ever or worst decision ever? You decide.

Confession: I’m not really positive that this granola can be classified as ultra-healthy because of the fact that you will probably eat it all straight off the baking sheet. I’m not kidding: One handful literally turns into 20+.

Seriously, help. I literally cannot stop eating this granola.
