Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

Happy National Oatmeal Day! The sweet and tart berries swirled with the goodness of oatmeal bread and topped with a decadently whipped goat cheese spread is the perfect way to start your morning. It also makes a great snack or an even better treat to take to a brunch.

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.

Hello Friends! I had planned on these being a different version of my Homemade Scotchie Granola Bars, however a couple of changes to the recipe resulted in a completely different texture! The more time I spend in the kitchen (and watching Food Network), the more fascinated I become with food science and experimenting. I wanted…
