Confession; one Friday I ate a half jar of Nutella, with a spoon, in one evening… after dinner! And I know I’m not the only one with no self-control. I am smitten with nut butter, its not unusual to find a half empty peanut butter jar in my purse, car or work place. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me raving about my favourite store bought products and brands.
As I feel like I am spending all my money on trying new brands, I decided to create my own healthy nut butter recipes and I am so happy to be able to share them with you. As always I’d love to hear from you and please keep tagging me in your social media posts. I love getting inspired by you.
Ingredients:
2.5 cups raw mixed nuts (almonds, brazil nuts, cashews)
3 tbsp chia seeds
1/3 cup goji berries
Pinch sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180 C and spread the raw nuts out across a large oven tray. Roast nuts for 8-10 minutes or until slightly browned. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Place nuts in a food processor and blend on high speed until the nuts start releasing their oils and breaking down into a smooth butter.
Once the butter has started to become nice and smooth, add in the chia seeds, goji berries, salt and cinnamon. Then, process again to mix it all together and lightly break up the goji berries into tiny chunks.
Pour into a small jar, seal it with a lid, and store it in the refrigerator for good measure.
