If you love peanut butter and almond butter, you have to try walnut butter! This homemade walnut butter recipe requires just a few ingredients and a food processor or high speed blender. Dried apples and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon make every bite taste like fall! The recipe is gluten free, paleo, vegan, and full of heart-healthy fats.
Optional steps:
- Toast the walnuts prior to using
- Increase the amount of apples in the butter to bump up the apple flavor (this will make it chunkier, and less nut butter-y)
- Replace the cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice
Notes:
You can, of course, replace the walnuts with any nut or seed of choice.
If you don't eat nut butter at quite the breakneck pace that I do, feel free to freeze half of this in an airtight container until you're ready to eat it, in order to keep it a little fresher. Simply defrost to room temperature when you're ready to finish it.
Yield: About 1.5 - 2 cups.
