Granola Butter

Prep Time: 10 min Total Time: 3 1/2 days |Yield: 1-3 cups of starter

They say, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too”. But in this case, you can have your granola and eat it too. Apparently, Granola Butter is all the rage. Make homemade granola. Then add the finished product to the food processor and make it into butter. Spread on toast, apples or eat it by the spoonful.

  • 2 cups rolled oats*
  • 1 cup chopped nuts*
  • ½ cup shredded coconut*
  • ¼ cup maple syrup, or honey*
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil, or olive oil*
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract*
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon*
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt*
  • ¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries, optional*

*Ingredients Found at The Country Cupboard

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts and shredded coconut.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, transfer the granola to a food processor or blender. Pulse until the granola becomes a butter consistency, about 15-20 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides down and give the food processor a break every so often.
  7. Stir in the raisins or dried cranberries, if using.
  8. Store the granola butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
