Banana Bread Pecan Almond Butter

In case you haven’t figured it out already by the name of my site, I love peanut butter. But not just peanut butter. Cashew butter, almond butter, pecan butter, all the nut butters. 

However, this has proven to be one expensive habit – especially since I look for minimal ingredient nut butters (ideally, you should look for one ingredient: nuts!) I also love all different flavors of nut butters – yes, there’s even Sugar Cookie Peanut Butter out there (looking at you, Wild Friends).

I was feeling extra creative the other day and decided to make my own flavored nut butter. And not just any flavor: banana bread pecan almond butter.

I recently got an amazing package from my friends over at Bare Snacks, where they’re turning fruit into baked, crunchy, simple chips. I’m seriously addicted to their banana chips so I thought…why not include them in this nut butter adventure?
