Ingredients
-
1½ cups roasted almonds or pecans
-
¼ cup pumpkin puree (well-drained)
-
2 tbsp chopped dried apple
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1–2 tbsp maple syrup or keto sweetener (optional)
-
Pinch of salt
Optional boosters:
¼ tsp vanilla, dash of nutmeg/ginger, pinch of cloves
Instructions
-
Process Nuts: Blend roasted nuts in a food processor for 5–7 mins until glossy and smooth, scraping down every 1–2 mins.
-
Add Flavor: Add pumpkin, dried apple, cinnamon, sweetener, salt, and boosters. Blend 1–2 mins until fully mixed.
-
Taste & Adjust: Add more sweetener or spice if needed. Texture too thick? Add a small drizzle of neutral oil.
-
Jar It Up: Spoon into a clean jar. Let cool, then refrigerate. It thickens beautifully as it chills.
Notes
-
Dry pumpkin well before adding to avoid watery butter.
-
Don’t add pumpkin too early or it’ll seize.
-
Let the processor work—smooth takes time.
-
Dried apples only—fresh apples = too wet.
