This Almond Nut Butter is a rich, naturally sweet spread made with roasted maple-coated almonds and a hint of warm cinnamon and vanilla. Slow-roasted to intensify flavor, the almonds are blended into a silky, drippy butter, with melted chocolate swirled in for a decadent finish.
Perfect for slathering on toast, swirling into oatmeal, or enjoying by the spoonful, this nut butter is a wholesome, protein-packed treat with just the right balance of sweetness and crunch. It’s a delicious, homemade alternative to store-bought spreads—and it’s irresistibly good.
