Happy Friday and day-before-Halloween! It has been a busy week so I’m looking forward to relaxing. We have grand plans to hang out a home with a few friends, passing out candy. I am excited to make Halloween treats for the day and dress up this year. Our neighborhood is one of the most popular in Chicago to trick-or-treat, so we have to be festive. If you need something easy and pumpkin-flavored to try for the holiday this weekend, look no further than this easy recipe for 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Almond Butter.
There are so many versions of fancy peanut butter out there. white chocolate and cinnamon raisin swirl, to name a few. Almond butter seems to be missing out on the fancy flavors {besides Justin’s of course}, and I haven’t seen any version of pumpkin spice available for sale this year. Time to make your own! This is the easiest recipe, requiring less than 5 minutes and two kitchen tools – a fork and a bowl 🙂
The key is using fresh ground almond butter. You can obviously make your own almond butter at home too, but I prefer the 1 minute version – ground fresh at the grocery store. I used almond butter from Koepsel’s in Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin, picked up on our recent trip to Door County. My second favorite fresh ground version is from Mariano’s. I used Grade A pure maple syrup from Koepsel’s, and it tastes and smells exactly like a sweet summer campfire.
All you have to do is mash together fresh ground {unsweetened} almond butter, a few Tablespoons of pure maple syrup, and a few teaspoons of seasonal pumpkin pie spice. Store in a covered jar and this will keep in the refrigerator for weeks. I found the cutest jar at HomeGoods for less than $3.
