Cinnamon Almond & Pumpkin Seed Butter

Heyy Simran, great Q! Vanilla bean is a great swap for the vanilla flavour in the vanilla sugar, but it won’t provide the sweetness that helps balance the pumpkin seed bitterness. Also, liquid sweeteners like maple syrup or agave can make nut butters thicken and sometimes seize or turn a bit grainy, because the water in the syrup doesn’t emulsify nicely with the oils. If you want sweetness with less risk, dry sweeteners tend to work best, so if you do find it too bitter, you can always add it bit by bit to taste :)

Ahh… thanks so much for the reply!
And Happy new year ☺️🙏🏻

My pleasure! And thank you, happy new year to you as well Simran 🥰

Heyy Anne-marie, you can replace the coconut oil with sunflower oil. It’s mild in taste and will help the nut butter blend into a smoother, creamier consistency. You can also omit the oil if you prefer, although the texture may turn out a bit thicker or less silky. We’d only recommend skipping it if your food processor is quite powerful!
