Wowsers. It has been MONTHS since I’ve last shared a homemade nut butter with you all. That is crazy! I feel like I was at a point where I had a new concoction every few weeks. I still have a running notepad of all the flavor ideas I want to share with you though. So don’t you worry–there shall be more coming in 2017.
While going through my list of nut butter flavors, I realized I had yet to add hazelnuts to the mix–so here we are! I thought about doing the ever-so-popular chocolate “nutella” flavor, but I thought cinnamon was appropriate for this time of year. Plus roasting the nuts in the cinnamon before processing them into butter leaves a wonderful aroma in your house. I went to the grocery store after making this butter, came back, and I thought “Note to self, roast cinnamon more often… house smells like heaven”
This hazelnut almond butter is quick and easy. Just make sure you’re using a decent food processor or a high powered blender like a Vitamix <– maybe one of those is on your holiday wish list?!
Oh, and if you’re looking for a fun homemade gift this year–this cinnamon hazelnut almond butter is most definitely a great option.
Cinnamon Hazelnut Almond Butter
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- 2 TBS liquid, or melted coconut oil
- 1 TBS ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F and place raw almonds and hazelnuts on a large baking sheet. Spread evenly in one layer, drizzle on oil and cinnamon, toss with spatula or hands to coat. Toast for 15 minutes, then let nuts cool on pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Place slightly cooled nuts in bowl of food processor and cover with lid. Process until butter consistency forms, about 5-10 minutes total, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary. Time will depend on food processor and bowl capacity.
- Transfer cinnamon hazelnut almond butter to 16oz jar with lid. Store at room temperature, or fridge for longer periods of time.
- Enjoy on toast, in cookies, or maybe even straight by the spoonful…
