My eating habits are strange. I know this as a fact.
For example, I used to hate avocado. Now I inhale it like no tomorrow. And same goes for eggplant. I used to love candy (especially gummy lollies) but now I can't eat them at all. Another thing is, I hate hate hate peanuts and most nuts actually. But I love love love peanut butter. Of all sorts. So here I am every morning, opening a jar of peanut butter and the smell is so terrible I almost throw up. But that's not stopping in from having my daily fix of pb.
You think I'm exaggerating but I'm not.
So, hello homemade 'speculoos cookie butter'.
Ingredients
- 500g raw peanuts
- 5 almond speculoos cookies (crushed)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
De-shell the peanuts (soak in water and rub until the skins come off) and lay out on a single layer on a baking sheet. Place into the oven on 180° for 15 minutes. Take away from heat and allow to cool.
Add peanuts to a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth. Stop to scrap down the sides if necessary. This may take around 5 minutes or much longer depending on how powerful your blender is.
The peanuts will go through the stages of: crushed, finely crushed, a paste, then little balls of paste will break down to a creamy peanut butter. Add in coconut oil and continue to blend for 2 more minutes until a desired consistency.
Add the cinnamon, honey and 3/4 of the crushed cookies and blend for 1 minute. Hand mix in the remaining cookie pieces and transfer into a glass jar with airtight lid.
Store in the refrigerator or in room temperature.
Just a disclaimer, I have never actually tasted the real speculoos cookie butter (yes, Australia sucks) but I'm what you call an 'experimenter' so yolo.
sending you love,
Coby.
