Creamy, dreamy cashew butter bursting with warm and cozy flavors! This cashew butter is simple & easy and nutritious & delicious. Roasted cashews infused with chai spices, this is sure to be your go-to spread all season long!
It’s finally starting to get a little chilly outside which means it’s officially time for all the warm and cozy things. Chai spiced just screams warm and cozy right? Right. At least I think. Because truth be told, about a month ago I had no idea what chai actually tasted like. Then I tried an almond milk chai latte and fell.in.love. Chai spiced is basically pumpkin spice’s older, more educated sister. It’s made up of all the inter-workings of pumpkin spice (think nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves) but adds in some more mature notes like ginger and allspice and it is knock-your-socks-off-out-of-this-world! So, put down the pumpkin spice latte and let’s jazz some things up a bit for the all season.
Side note: I do have a delicious homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe coming soon so don’t fall too far from the PSL train just yet.
It’s no surprise I’m a huge fan of nut butter. I personally think it could take over the world if it tried, but that’s just me. My Vanilla Bean Cashew Butter is a staple in our house and you really can’t go wrong with Dark Chocolate Cashew Butter Cups.
