Hi! I’m Amanda.

Snickerdoodle Cashew Nut Butter

September 22, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

Oh am I excited to share this recipe with you! I’ve tried this delightful homemade nut butter recipe out a couple of times and each time I basically ate the whole jar in a day. What can I say? The nutty roasted, salted cashews swirled together with cinnamon and vanilla turn me into a nut butter monster.

I told myself I had to sample for the blog…but I will admit that I just wanted an excuse to eat it by the spoonful.

You can smother this delicious homemade nut butter on toast, a banana, or spoon it into some oatmeal (or your mouth..). You might want to make a double batch if there is more than one person in your household who eats nut butter. Dave is still a little wary of anything other than Jif. Which is just fine by me.

These pumpkin spice browned butter protein bites are everything fall and healthy wrapped into one little package. They are absolutely decadent with the browned butter and brown sugar plus they will fill your kitchen with the spiced smells of Thanksgiving. The added vegan protein powder (Skoop of course!), granola and banana give it a healthy boost in addition to the many health benefits of the star ingredient: pumpkin.

Hello Friends! Here’s a post from Miss Sarah on the topic of {Vegetarian Curious}, which is what I am!  I met her at Blend and immediately loved her boldness in jumping into a group of girls, making a joke, and passing out her business cards.  We later went on a trip to the local farmer’s…
