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.

Speaking of 2017… I am getting rather excited. We’re still over a week away before the new year, but my mind is already there–partly because I’ll be taking next week off… for a couple different reasons.

First: To spend some quality time with family and unplug for a little bit. I’ve been working like crazy on various projects these past couple months. Between the blog, freelance work and training at FLEXcity (oh… not sure I’ve mentioned that yet here but I will circle back another day!), I can tell I am due for some much needed downtime.  Plus I know taking this week to relax a little bit will give me a fresh start for 2017. Also, my bestest Pal and her husband are in town for the week from Washington, so I want to see her as much as possible! I also have another close friend coming into town as well. Super excited!

Second: This one is big… I’m getting my site re-designed! *gasp* I wanted to share with you all here first because at this time next week my site will be non-functioning for a couple days. SO if you have any recipes you REALLY want to make for a New Year’s Eve Party (*ahem* Grapefruit Crostini perhaps?) I highly suggest printing out the recipes or taking a screenshot with your phone so you can save it for later! 🙂

So now that those things are out of the way… are you ready for your new favorite spread?

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.

  • Author: Ashley
  • Prep Time: 20 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 2 cups 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: food processor
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 2 cups raw hazelnuts
  • 2 TBS liquid (or melted) coconut oil
  • 1 TBS ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer cinnamon hazelnut almond butter to 16oz jar with lid. Store at room temperature, or fridge for longer periods of time.
  4. Enjoy on toast, in cookies, or maybe even straight by the spoonful…

    Yum! I need to invest in a food processor so I can test out these recipes. They would have been such a great holiday gift to co-workers! Also, enjoy your holiday and much-deserved break next week! 🙂

      Omg yes you need a food processor! I remember I waited and waited and waited and finally then put the Breville on our wedding registry. So thankful we were able to get it! It’s amazing.

      Yes! Sunflower oil, avocado oil… really any kind of mild oil you have is fine. It just helps smooth out the butter faster. You can also leave it out! My apologies for the late response! Your comment came through as spam. Hope the butter still worked out for you!
