Nut butters, revisited

Since my last post that included Whole30 compliant nut butters (hello TJ’s mixed nut butter and salted cashew butter!), I have discovered two new nut butters worth mentioning (more like I should be screaming about them from a mountain top): Georgia Grinders pecan butter and hazelnut butter.  Guys, these nut butters are ah.maz.ing!  If you set foot into my apartment and are not allergic to nuts (and I’ll need to see that doctor’s note if you are, otherwise you’ll fall victim like everyone else), I’m likely to make you taste this pecan butter!  It is heaven on a spoon - literally - and that’s my preferred method of eating it.  And the people that I make try it?  They fall instantly in love, too!  The hazelnut butter is also amazing, it’s just the epitome of hazelnutty deliciousness, and I think it would be awesome in a coffee beverage (a la this snickerdoodle one I made last Whole30), and is equally good on its own. I highly recommend buying in bulk (I buy 2-3 jars of each at a time).


Georgia Grinders actually has a bunch of Whole30 approved nut butters (their cashew butter and almond butter are also compliant, I just haven't tried them yet and therefore can't vouch for them personally).  Just be aware that some flavors have peanut butter or maple syrup in them, and those aren't complaint on Whole30 (the website has a "Whole30 approved" on the acceptable flavors).  The ingredients in the two that I buy - pecan and hazelnut - are simply the nut and salt.  Can't go wrong with that!
