Hazelnut Almond Butter (recipe)
Surprisingly, I have out grown peanut butter. I love almond butter though. But it is almost double the price tag. It is so simple to make, but I always forget to make my own.
Hazelnut and almond flavors are so good. They are my first choices of sweetener for my coffee.
Since I’m making it myself, I decided to play around with ingredients. I added cinnamon and vanilla bean paste. I’m glad I did. It was a great addition!
I think maybe next I’ll add some melted dark chocolate. If you consume a lot nut butter, making your own is definitely worth your while. Especially if you like the pricey ones like I do. This recipe makes almost double the size of a regular jar.

I haven’t had almond butter in such a long time because it’s so expensive. I definitely want to make my own now! I love the cinnamon idea.
I hope you try it Lisa!
