Today Tutus&Tea would like to share with you one of her shameless vices. The secret recipe I’m about to let you in on is absolutely addictive in all of the best ways…and I for one, am not going to judge should your jar of happiness come to empty itself at a continually rapid pace :)

Below…feast your eyes on the divinity that is Ginger Nut Butter, and marvel at the simplicity of such beautiful flavors working in tandem. Go Nuts. You’re welcome. {recipe below}

Mixed {nuts} Nuts & Honey Mixed Nuts Nuts, Honey & Ginger Ginger Almond ButterParty Players:

your preferred assortment of mixed nuts – I used a subtle combo of almonds and cashews, but any will do…

1 inch piece of peeled, finely grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon of honey

(optional: pinch of cinnamon)

Rules:

Preheat oven to 275 degrees and roast nuts until slightly golden and fragrant, about 10-12 minutes.

Combine all ingredients into a high-speed blender (*Vitamix works like a charm) and blend until well mixed – About 4-8 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.

Fun fact: As the nuts continue to grind, they will eventually release their own oils, helping the butter-like consistency to form. If for some reason it fails to do so on its own, feel free to add a slow stream of extra virgin olive oil until you reach your desired consistency.

…Slather on to your favorite vehicle of edible transport and the world is yours for the taking :)
