Pumpkin Roasted Almond Butter
Woah, did you see that? Look. Up there, in your browser. Notice anything? Yeah, I know, you probably didn’t notice, but there is no longer a “wordpress” up there. I’m just www.iheartvegetables.com. Pretty exciting, for me 😉
Anyways, I wasn’t going to jump on the Pumpkin Trend… except for those pumpkin roasted almonds that I mentioned on Friday, but then I had a problem.
I couldn’t stop reaching into that almond jar every time I came into the kitchen. Something had to be done, but more on that later.
I saw this awesome recipe from the kabocha fashionista! If you haven’t checked out her blog, you should! I made her Dark Chocolate Pudding Peanut Flour Muffins, except I only used 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and I used sugar free pudding mix prepared with soymilk, instead of the soya pudding, because I couldn’t find any at the store!
They may not be the prettiest muffins ever, but they sure are tasty! Not to mention they’re only 100 calories, and 6g of protein, at least if you make them the way I did!
But wait. We’re missing something.
Remember those almonds I needed to use up? Well naturally this was the only option:
Pumpkin Roasted Almond Butter
- 2 cups pumpkin roasted almonds*
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- pinch of salt
*If you can’t find the Planters Pumpkin Roasted Almonds at the store, you could probably just add 2-3 tbsp of pumpkin puree, and double the amount of pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar. You’ll need to keep the butter in the fridge but it should still give you that delicious pumpkin flavor!
This sounds fantastic! The last (and first) time I attempted to make nut butter, it just turned into a ball of ground up nuts. Never got to butter stage. I think you should do a tutorial 🙂
Congrats on getting your own domain!! Ummm the pumpkin roasted almond butter sounds dangerously delicious!!
It’s making its appearance on apples… muffins… smoothies… ok basically everything in my kitchen 😉
Congrats on the domain, I keep saying I am buying mine but never get around to doing it!
I must find those almonds 🙂
Yay for the new domain! I just bought mine, so I know it’s pretty exciting! Fabulous idea with the pumpkin nut butter…my family would love that!
Congrats on dropping the /wordpress…I’ve been asking my hubs to work on that (as he hosts my blog on his server) for AGES but he is too “busy” 😉
That /wordpress is the thorn in my side!!
I need to make a nut butter pretty quick as I am nearing the end of my peanut, cashew, chia seed flax butter! I think I will make this…Very fall-like!
I need to start making my own almond butter!
No more wordpress identification?? YOU GRADUATED. Bahahahahahaha. I’m happy for you. I was elated when I got rid of my “blogspot” identification, too.
I have had pumpkin roasted almond butter once. It was heavenly. Don’t tease me.
