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!
Such a good idea! I would totally make this but I’m not sure I can keep myself from eating all the almonds plain first. They are too addicting!!
Mmm… that looks yummy!
SO awesome that you have your own domain! does it cost? if so, how much? i’d like to get there eventually 😉 oh, and GREAT solution to your “hand in jar” issue with the almonds. couldn’t have come up with something better, myself 😉
xo.
Congratulations on losing the “wordpress”! I just dropped blogspot and it feels like such a big important move!
That sounds amazing! Perfect for fall!
That sounds delicious! If I had some, it might even motivate me to make muffins 😀
Twilight Zone moment: I totally had not read this post and just posted a recipe for Pumpkin-Spiced Pecan Butter this morning….
WOWOWOW! What a fab combination!
pumpkin with almonds, YUM! too of my favorite things
Pumpkin + Almond= the perfect combination. I love this recipe! 🙂
