Granola Butter is super easy to make at home. With a little patience you can make your own granola butter to use as a fruit dip, in chocolate granola butter cups and more.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Serving Size 1 250 ml jar

Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor or High Powered Blender
  • 1 Measuring cup
  • 1 jar with lid 250 ml jar

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granola use your favourite homemade or store-bought granola
  • 1/4 cup neutral flavoured oil optional

Instructions

  • Measure out the granola and oil
  • Add granola to the bowl of a food processor or jar of a blender
  • Pulse 4 - 5 times to start breaking down the granola
  • Once the granola starts to break down turn the food processor or blender on high for 3 - 4 minutes
  • Open the food processor or blender. The granola should be broken down into a coarse meal. Give it a stir and put the lid back on.
  • Turn the food processor or blender back on medium and remove the oil dispenser in the lid.
  • Slowly stream in half of the oil, if using and blend for 2 minutes.
  • Open the lid and scrape down the sides of the food processor or blender.
  • If you want a looser granola butter you can add more oil.
  • Continue processing in 3 - 4 minutes bursts, stopping to scrape down the sides, until you get the desired consistency.
  • Pour your finished granola butter into a jar, seal and store in the pantry or cupboard.

Notes

Notes:
  • Use your favourite homemade or store-bought granola to make this recipe.
  • If your granola has a lot of nuts and seeds, which contain natural oils, you may not need the full amount of added oil.
  • The ingredients in your granola will determine how smooth your granola butter will be. I used a granola with toasted quinoa which remained a bit chunky.
  • It can take 10 - 15 minutes for the granola to smooth out into a butter. Process in bursts instead of all at once so you don't overheat your food processor or blender.
