Cinnamon Roll Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is one of my favourite foods. I love eating it in my oatmeal, with fruit, mixed with yogurt and even by the spoonful. I am a fan of making my own nut butters because that way I know they are clean and healthy, with no hydrogenated oil or refined sugar.





This little creation of mine is what I like to call Cinnamon Roll Peanut Butter. It has a beautiful sweetness of a cinnamon roll, using coconut sugar and pure maple syrup; a subtle, yet rich butter flavour using a butter extract and of course the most important ingredient cinnamon!



This flavour combination is delicious... I know I will have trouble not eating the whole jar in a day and I'm sure all other peanut butter lovers out there will agree that this jar of Cinnamon Roll Peanut Butter is to die for! Enjoy!

What You'll Need:

2 cups raw peanuts

1 tsp. butter extract

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. coconut sugar

1 tsp. pure maple syrup

food processor

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Toast peanuts for about 10 minutes. This helps to bring up all the natural oils within the nuts.

2. Place toasted nuts in your food processor, blend for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides periodically.

3. Add your extra ingredients ( cinnamon, coconut sugar, pure maple syrup and butter extract). Blend for another 8-10 minutes until, you see a smooth peanut butter form and thats it you have a beautiful, healthy cinnamon roll peanut butter!
