NUT BUTTER!!! This stuff is addicting. I made homemade almond butter for the first time a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t believe how easy it was. You always hear that a handful of almonds is a healthy snack… but who wants to do that?! A handful of nuts just never seemed to be an adequate snack for me… but a spoonful of almond butter?! That’s something I can get on board with. The best part of making it vs buying it is that you know exactly what goes into it. I usually buy the Trader Joe’s almond butter which is great and says its only almonds and salt, but something about seeing the almonds turn into butter gives you much more peace of mind. I have also had cashew butter and obviously peanut butter, so I thought… LIGHTBULB! Let’s combine them all! And why not make it a treat and add some cinnamon and maple syrup?? Now this stuff is dangerous because it becomes very hard to put the spoon down because it is just perfectly sweet and salty. I got these nuts from Trader Joe’s and they are roasted and slightly salted, I also added a bit of extra salt until it was just right.
Whirl whirl whirl & swirl that butta!
Add the luscious 100% real maple syrup (no flavored corn syrup!!!)
And lots of cinnamon! Like that action shot?!
VOILA! Beautiful and thick 3 nut butter.
I like to eat mine on toast with banana and possibly a honey drizzle??
Okay this might qualify for dessert at some point but I will call it a snack so I don’t feel too bad.
PIN IT!
Maple Cinnamon 3 Nut Butter
Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted almonds
- 1 cup roasted cashews
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine all 3 nuts in a food processor. Blend until nuts break down and become smooth and creamy. This could take up to 10 minutes. Scrap down the bowl and add cinnamon, maple syrup and salt and pulse until combined. If you like your nut butter thinner, add 1 tablespoon of any oil of your choice until your desired consistency is achieved.

I would love to make this for someone as a gift, how should it be stored and about how long does it last? Thanks! 🙂
This would be a great gift!! It has always lasted as long as it takes to eat it for me (which isn’t long), but I think it should be good in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 month! Enjoy!
Would you happen to know how much this recipe yields? I was going to make and I am trying to determine calories by tablespoon like the store bought almond butter. This sounds and looks delicious and anytime we can make it from scratch that would be awesome.
Hi Tammy! Good question. I didn’t measure exactly at the end but I think it made around 2 cups of nut butter! Enjoy the recipe, it sure is tasty!! 🙂
Hi! I love the idea of this three nut butter, it looks so yummy! Quick question, can i replace the maple syrup with honey? I hope you can answer back soon! Thanks 🙂
Yes you can!
