Healthy Homemade Cinnamon Roll Almond Butter
This Healthy Cinnamon Roll Almond Butter has got all the flavor of cinnamon rolls but in a decadent, sweet, spreadable form! Perfect on toast AND a spoon.
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Sprinkle the sliced almonds onto a large baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Bake for ~10 minutes, or until fragrant and until the almonds get a nice toasty color (keep watch on them — they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt and useless in less than a minute!). Let cool completely.
-
In a high-speed blender or food processor (I used my Vitamix), add the sliced almonds and coconut oil. Blend until smooth and creamy (~5-7 minutes), scraping down the sides of the blender when needed.
-
Blend in the cinnamon, molasses, butter flavor, vanilla paste, stevia extract, and salt. Blend until completely smooth.
-
Scoop into serving jars and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place for a few weeks, or you can refrigerate to extend its shelf life.
**I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure vanilla extract would work just fine instead if you don’t have vanilla paste!

This… THIS almond butter though, I mean, WOW. It’s amazing.
Dare I say… it’s better than peanut butter.
*GASP*
I’m not making this up people, this stuff is the bomb. Like, so-good-I-could-eat-it-off-the-spoon-and-out-of-the-jar-and-probably-off-the-floor-so-good…
Don’t look at me like that! I bet you would too 😉
But we should probably stick to graham crackers for now…
Enjoy!
