Honey Cinnamon Almond Butter

Warm, gently sweet, and perfectly spiced — like a hug in a jar. Perfect on sourdough, swirled into oatmeal, or spooned by the fireplace.

Ingredients

• 3 cups almonds
• 1–2 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower or light olive), optional
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1–2 tbsp honey
• ½–1 tsp cinnamon
• Optional: a pinch of nutmeg, for deeper warmth

Instructions

1. Roast the almonds at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until fragrant.
2. Cool slightly — warm nuts blend best.
3. Blend patiently in a food processor: crumbs, then paste, then creamy butter (5–10 minutes).
4. Adjust the texture with a drizzle of oil if needed.
5. Add the honey, cinnamon, and salt. Blend again until silky.
6. Store in a jar for up to 3 weeks in the fridge.

Variations: add ½ tsp vanilla for a Honey-Vanilla Hearth Butter, swap the honey for maple syrup, or add 1 tbsp browned butter for deep, toasty richness.
