Snickerdoodle Almond Butter
Making your own healthy almond butter that tastes just like a cinnamon-sweet snickerdoodle cookie is easier than you think and much more nutritious. Just try to keep your fingers out of the almond butter jar!
Snickerdoodles are one of my very favorite cookie variety. I just love the cinnamon sugar coated puffy butter cookie! Enjoying a spoonful of this almond butter is seriously like munching on snickerdoodle cookie dough- a little addicting, to say the least!
I absolutely love making my own nut butters because I can control what ingredients I use. Many store-bought brands of nut butter contain unnecessary oils and sugars. It’s super easy- you can walk away and let the food processor do its job. I have a this Cuisinart and it works like a dream.
Start with adding your nuts to the food processor. Turn the food processor on high and let it go to work on the almonds, grinding them into a flour. It will be super loud, especially when you first turn on the food processor, but don’t worry, your food processor will not explode. 🙂 Eventually your almond flour will begin to clump. Let the processor continue running until desired consistency is achieved. You may have to stop the food processor intermittently to scrape down sides several times with a rubber spatula. Be patient- I promise, the almonds will get creamy. If you prefer your almond butter extra drippy, just continue processing a little longer. Making almond butter in my food processor takes about 15-20 minutes.
Once the almond butter is creamy, add whatever additional ingredients you like. For snickerdoodle almond butter; add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and vanilla, plus a teaspoon of salt. Turn the processor on again to fully incorporate the seasonings, then stop and taste. Add more seasonings, if desired. Now dip in a dried fig- I swear it’s like heaven on Earth!!! My favorite snack!

how long can homemade nut butters like these last for?
At least a month… it usually doesn’t last that long, though. 🙂 I pretty much treat it like almond butter I buy from the store.
Oh this looks and sounds incredible!!! I make my own almond butter in the Vitamix…But never thought of Snickerdoodle flavor before 🙂 I cannot wait to try this!!! Thanks for linking up with us at #Foodie Fridays! You have been pinned!
I make own almond butter all the time, but adding the spices–brilliant!! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
That looks phenomenal! I’ve always wanted to try making my own nut butter… one day, when I get a Vitamix! 🙂
I make my almond butter in food processor and they’re a lot cheaper than the Vitamix.:)
This sounds amazing, Kim! I just happen to have a plethora of almonds too…I think it’s a sign! 😉
I hope you get a chance to give it a try!!
Already imagining this in my pumpkin mug cake. It really doesn’t take much effort to. Make nut butter at home but it’s so rewarding like you said. Who wants all that added junk when you can have this awesome recipe to snack on!
Yum… this would be awesome with a mug cake!
Uhhhh ohhhh! This could be dangerous! I am already sticking my spoon in my homemade almond butter jar enough without you adding more goodness to it. This sounds so yummy though, pinning!
Haha… I know what you mean! 😉
Oh man this sounds delicious! I made cashew butter last week with cinnamon and vanilla and it was tough not to plow through the entire jar in one sitting!
Love cashew butter. I bet that was fabulous!
Nutbutter goodness is all that needs to be said 🙂
For sure!!
