Maple Pumpkin Seed Butter Cups
Pumpkin seed butter is something that is totally under appreciated. I actually really like it! Its lovely green color, slightly nutty flavor and rich texture! Raw Guru recently sent me some Dastony sprouted pumpkin seed butter and I was excited. I tend to get stuck in the rut of eating peanut butter and almond butter […]
Vegan Pear Spice Doughnuts with “Cream Cheese” Glaze
At one of the apple orchards that we always used to go to growing up, they always made these cinnamon sugar doughnuts that you could smell from far away because they always seemed to have the aroma venting out of the building as if to entice you to buy one. I never did end up […]
White Chocolate Cinnamon Brazil Nut Butter
You would think I would run out of possible nut butters to make, but I am making new ones all the time! I was recently at the store in the bulk section when the brazil nuts caught my eye. They are really good for snacking on, and I used to buy them a lot when […]
Gingerbread Almond Butter
If you read my blog often, it is no secret that I am obsessed with nut butter of any kind. It all started with peanut butter and Nutella when I was little. When I discovered other types of nut butter they blew my mind! I remember begging my Mom for a jar of gourmet peanut […]
Vegan Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Brownies
I have always considered macadamia nuts as kind of special. They are more rich and buttery than other nuts, a little bit more spendy most of the time since they have to grow 7 years before they are harvested and are really hard to crack. But for special occasions they are so good! I have […]
Hazelnut Pecan Maple Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Butter
The weather was so perfect last weekend! About 45F degrees in the morning and 70F degrees in the afternoon. As far as I am concerned it could stay like that all year long and I would be happy. It was the prefect weather to do my long run on Saturday, the crisp cool air a […]
Vegan Mocha Brazil Nut Butter Cookies
You know what my favorite guilty pleasure is? Nut butters. Yes, I eat a little bowl of nut butter with fruit to dip in it and call it dessert sometimes. It is not because I am too lazy to make a dessert, it is because I am craving delicious nut butter. And, I wish I could […]
Vegan Pecan Blueberry Jam Bars
I am loving anything berry lately. We kind of get deprived of berries in Minnesota for about half the year, so when they are available, I am all over them. I recently made some blueberry jam from a couple of pints of blueberries, and instead of simply using it to top toast with, or stir […]
Blueberry Vanilla Almond Butter
It is no secret that I love nut butters of any kind. I am always including them in recipes (especially peanut butter but I love them all), and at any given time I probably have at least 8 different kinds in my pantry. Almond, peanut, pecan, cashew, walnut, and coconut butter are all staples, but […]
Cinnamon Maple Chestnut Pecan Butter
We have all heard the Holiday song with the line “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” but how many of us have actually tried chestnuts? I admit, I did not try them until I was about 21 when I saw them at the local co op, and decided to be adventurous and try them. I […]
Raspberry White Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter
When I was in high school shopping with my Mom at the store, I came across a jar of the most amazing sounding peanut butter ever. It was raspberry white chocolate. I begged my Mom to buy it, and it was pretty amazing. Up until that point, I hadn’t seen anything but the standard peanut […]
White Chocolate Hazelnut Pecan Butter
I love me some nut butters. At any given time you will find at least 8 different kinds in my pantry. I make about 3 a week, because I use it in recipes, and of course just straight up eat it. I mean is there any better quick comfort food than a big spoon of […]
Spiced Maple Pecan Butter
Pecans make me think of my Grandma. It may sound like sort of an odd statement, but hear me out. She used to always buy these amazing giant caramel pecan rolls for Easter, and had to have pecan pie at every Thanksgiving because it was her absolute favorite. But it doesn’t stop there, she loved […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Butter Cookies with Raspberries and a Giveaway!
Windy City Organics was kind enough to send me some Dastony Nut Butters to create recipes with, and I could not have been more excited. In case you haven’t noticed before I am in love with all things nut butter. I have at least 6 types in my pantry at all times. One of the nut […]
Exciting Nut Butter Recipes You Need To Try!
I don’t know about you but I am in love with nut butter. Of course it started as a child when my Mother would make me peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwiches. I loved those. I refused to eat sandwiches with lunch meat (even then I was meant to be vegan). Or when she used […]
Raw Blueberry Muffin Batter Almond Butter
Blueberry muffins were a regular occurrence on Saturday mornings at my Dad’s house growing up. I always looked forward to making them even though my Dad was no baker (no offense Dad, still love you anyhow) and used a boxed mix. I would always lick the bowl clean of batter every time after we had […]
Raw Walnut Hemp Brownie Fudge Butter
Brownies will never get old. I mean who doesn’t love a brownie?! So after I made some brownies last week, and it was time to make my weekly nut butter (I have to have some sort of delicious nut butter on hand at all times for snacking), an idea popped into my head. Those brownies […]
Raw Raspberry Pecan Butter
I am a big nut butter of any kind fan in case you haven’t noticed. I love peanut butter, I would eat the whole jar if I could, and macadamia nut butter and pecan butter make me swoon. Walnut butter is a staple for savories in my house, and cashew butter is always on hand […]
Chocolate Chunk Swirled Peanut Butter
I love my peanut butter. One of my favorite simple desserts/snacks is sliced banana drizzled with peanut butter and it tastes as good to me as a piece of cake that is how much I love it. Add in some chopped raw chocolate, and even better. Which got me to thinking, what if I […]
Raw Strawberries and Cream Nut Butter
I have been wanting to make this nut butter for a while, but I waited until spring. Because spring means strawberries are more flavorful and tasty. I make my own interestingly flavored nut butters all the time. To me plain nut butters are usually just for use in recipes. But when I add things like […]
Raw Marble Cake Batter Nut Butter
I am always experimenting with new flavors of nut butters. Sometimes I keep them simple and sometimes, I like to play it a little sweet and dessert like. This is because I think the right sweet nut butter is wonderful drizzled over some bananas for dessert, or over a smoothie bowl as an extra treat […]
