Almond Butter Granola Balls
You all have LOVED the other granola ball recipes that I’ve shared, so I wanted to add one more to my New Year meal prep series. Almond butter is a great alternative to peanut butter if you (or someone you love) is allergic to peanuts. I also like that almond butter has a nuttier and more full flavor than peanut butter (in my opinion!).
THE BRANDS
I used Enjoy Life chocolate chips in this recipe because I love that they are dairy free. However, feel free to use any chocolate that you have at home. I also think this recipe could be really good with dried cranberries or raisins if you like them!
Almond butter can be really expensive, but I found a clean and relatively inexpensive version at Thrive Market. I posted last week that I was trying out their service and that I’ve had an overall really positive experience.
Happy Cooking!
