Chai Spice Nut Butter
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 raw almonds
- 2 2/3 cup dry roasted + unsalted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- pinch of ground black pepper
- 1/2 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Spread almonds on a rimmed baking tray and roast almonds until fragrant and toasty, about 10-12 minutes. Allow nuts to cool slightly.
- Add almonds, peanuts, and spices to the blender and blend on medium speed until nuts are finely ground. Add the seeds from the vanilla bean and the honey and turn the blender to high until nut butter turns creamy and smooth, scraping down sides when necessary. (It may look like the nut butter wants to seize up once you add the honey, but continue blending and eventually the oils will break down and the nut butter will smooth out.)
