Maple Almond Hazelnut Butter

I saw this recipe on Gabby's G-Free and had to try it. Soooo glad I did. 

Creamy, crunchy, and delish! 

Maple Almond Hazelnut Butter

Ingredients: 

1 cup raw almonds

1/2 cup raw hazelnuts

1 Tbsp light olive oil

3 Tbsps organic maple syrup

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup almond milk (I used vanilla unsweetened) 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Combine nuts, maple syrup, and cinnamon on a baking sheet. Toss with hands to coat evenly. Roast for 7-10 minutes, until you can smell them. Make sure to keep a close eye so they don't burn!

3. Let cool for NO LONGER than 2-3 minutes. The sugar will harden and they will become like rocks = no good.

4. Transfer nuts to the food processer and add vanilla extract.  Put on med speed and let them whirl around for 10-15 mins, occasionally scraping down the sides. 

5. Add in the olive oil to bring everything together.  Give it another whirl for 2-3 minutes.

6. Gradually add the almond milk. Start with 1/2 cup (I liked the consistency) but if it's too thick, add a bit more. Mix until combined.

7. Transfer to a jar/container and keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
