Snickerdoodle Cashew Nut Butter

September 22, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

(Continued) 

snickerdoodle cashew nut butter via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

Ingredients:

2 cups roasted, salted cashews

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp cinnamon

oil/fat of choice*

How To:

Throw all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, adding oil for desired consistency. Depending on your processor, this will take 10-15 minutes.

I would also like to point out that I got the idea to add “snickerdoodle” into the name from Kim’s post with almond butter. That flavor describes the nutbutter perfectly. The cinnamon and vanilla remind me of the taste of Dave’s favorite cookie (or so he told me 6 years ago when we were first dating so I made a billion batches for him early on…recently he’s told me it’s chocolate chip) but the texture is also a little fluffy like a snickerdoodle.

Pretty please whip this yummy cashew butter up for yourself and let me know what you think! I get absolutely giddy when people tell me they have made and enjoyed my recipes! Especially when it’s friends or family I didn’t even know read my blog!

Speaking of family and friends…we made it back to Nebraska this past weekend for a wedding!

me and dave brenda's wedding  

We attended a high school friend’s wedding (hi Brenda!) where I got to sport my new Target find—that dress was like $8 on the clearance rack!

me and dave brenda's wedding

Woot! It was a little tighter around the booty area than I’m used to..but I liked the overall 50s-ish look. It’s in style, right? (seriously..someone tell me. I’m kind of awful at keeping up with trends.)

More on the weekend later..someone has stayed up wayyyy past her bedtime battling with the internets. (<-it’s me. I’m up way to late.)

Hope you’re having a great week and be sure to check back for some eats from my Nebraska trip as well as a yummy seasonal drink! 🙂

    I’m not a college football fan, so when I see huskers stuff, I think of the people I know who are fans (you and my friend kate). This cashew butter sounds delicious!

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 23, 2014 at 3:18 pm

      Yeah we pretty much only have college football so…whatyagonnado. 🙂 Plus watching it makes me feel like I’m back at home. 🙂

    LOL – I wish Kyle loved nachos as much as I did 😉 AND this cashew butter looks to die for! Obvs my favorite is peanut butter, I’m obsessed 😉

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 23, 2014 at 8:51 pm

      Whaaat who doesn’t love nachos??

  6. Kim @ Racing Bananas

    September 23, 2014 at 7:18 pm

    Yum! I just finished eating a sweet potato with almond butter for dinner and I’m day dreaming about eating your cashew butter for dessert – ha! Sounds amazing!

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 23, 2014 at 8:52 pm

      Ohh this would be perfect on a sweet potato with the cinnamon!!

  7. Nicole @ Fitful Focus

    September 23, 2014 at 9:40 pm

    As if plain cashew butter isn’t delicious enough, you had to go and make it ridiculously delicious! Can’t wait to try this 🙂

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 24, 2014 at 5:39 pm

      haha I’m sorry? Not really though because the deliciosity I added is dreamy and not even bad for you! 🙂

    September 24, 2014 at 12:36 pm

    Ok first off…. give me that rubber bowl scraper!! Oh it looks delicious covered in nut buttery goodness. I’m an addict to peanut but have new found love for sunflower butter. I don’t discriminate regardless. 🙂

    I wish my boyfriend drank coffee… he just doesn’t GET IT!

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 24, 2014 at 5:41 pm

      You cannot have my cute rubber bowl scraper! Buttt you can buy your own at Target. 😉 It came in a pack of two and the other one is yellow and equally adorable. Perfect for getting every last morsel of cashew butter from a jar! 😉

      I thought the BF was into coffee for like a week…then he stopped lol!

    This looks so great… snickerdoodles are my fave cookie, after chocolate chip of course.

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 24, 2014 at 5:42 pm

    September 26, 2014 at 9:25 am

    Omg yum. Is eat this in a day for sure. I always burn my nuts too. I’m terrible at walking away as soon as they are done. Can’t wait to try these!

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 26, 2014 at 9:43 am

      Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one burning my nuts! (<-I may be immature but that's funny) You have to let me know how it turns out! 🙂

    September 29, 2014 at 12:55 pm

    That does look like an amazing special treat kind of recipe-dangerous to have around. Thanks for linking up with us today and I hope you will visit the hostess sites and recipes too. Which plug in do you use for the nutritional facts for your recipes? I like the way it looks 🙂

    • Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

      September 29, 2014 at 11:32 pm

      Here’s the plugin I use: http://www.semihealthyblog.com/2014/04/blogging-101-recipe-plugin-recipe-organization.html

      I love how customizable it is and the nutritional info is awesome when it works…originally my pumpkin shake said 900 calories for one glass lol and then I changed some words and it went back down to 230 calories.
