Autumn Spice Almond Butter {MMAZ #54}

November 4, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

Autumn Spice Almond Butter

One of my favorite parts of MMAZ is Cook week. I get a little breather from being creative and I get to try someone else’s creation. The only problem is right now I’m also having to find a way to fit the recipe into my nutrition plan. It makes things a little more complicated each week right now, but so far I’ve been lucky with the recipes linked up each week!

Autumn Spice Almond Butter

Last week Kaity and I made very similar recipes. I made Fall Spice Nut butter and she created this Autumn Spice Almond Butter. I knew there was a good chance several of us would make nut butter, but it’s funny how similar ours looked! And if you accidentally roast your almonds for too long, Kaity’s version turns out pretty dark too! 🙂 Actually the one person I was sure would make a nut butter did NOT!

The only problem with this recipe is that I snuck way too many almonds during the cooking process. Oops!

 Edited to add: I forgot to mention I added a teaspoon of maple syrup to my version for just a touch of sweetness. I tasted both before & after and both are great!

I plan to enjoy this with my morning egg whites as often as possible this week, since I suspect nut butter may be off limits any day now. I am savoring every bite. Luckily, since I’m under 2 weeks to competition day, any nut butter restriction will be short lived. Thank goodness!!

In case you missed any of the other nutty recipes created last week, head over to last week’s post and check them out!

Did you accept the MMAZ challenge and cook a meatless meal with Nuts this week? If you’re new to the fun, you can find all the details here (or click the “MMAZ” link in the menu bar above). Post what you cooked for Meatless Mondays from A-Z, add the logo to your post, and link up here. And don’t forget to tag your tweets & instagram post with #mmaz!

Meatless Mondays from A-Z: Nuts

********************

This is usually the time I reveal the next group of Meatless Mondays from A-Z challenge ingredients. I hope you’ll forgive me, but I need a little break! With the competition just around the corner, followed shortly thereafter by Thanksgiving festivities (we will be celebrating early with Kirk’s family), I’m afraid time might be a little short. So a short hiatus is in order for November, but it will be back soon!

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
