1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 large carrots, diced
4 stalks celery, diced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
2 pounds butternut squash, cubed (about 7 cups)
7 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup Justin’s® Classic Almond Butter
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Fresh thyme (to garnish)
Coconut milk (to garnish, optional)
1. In a large stock pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, celery, ginger, and garlic and cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add butternut squash and cook for 5-6 minutes more.
2. Pour in the broth, and add the salt and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, or until squash is fork tender. Remove from heat and stir in almond butter.
3. Pour soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm garnished with fresh rosemary and a drizzle of coconut milk, as desired.
Is there anything more magical than warm muffins fresh from the oven? Mmm, I can almost smell them now. These are just like Mama Justin used to make with the added bonus of JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. My almond butter poppy seed muffins are sure to make you float in the air like those old-timey cartoons. Okay, maybe not. But, they are super good.
At this point, I have to ask, “what CAN’T almond butter do?” This Korean-inspired Almond Butter Ssamjang (which translates to “sauce for wraps”) is a sweet, spicy, and perfectly salty sauce that is phenomenal in a lettuce wrap or just as a dip for fresh veggies.
We did it, we combined everyone’s favorite flavors into one perfect cookie bar. Chocolate? Check. Peanut Butter? That too. Banana? You know it. Oatmeal? Obviously. Plus, these could not be any easier to make. You only need one bowl and no crazy ingredients. The hardest part of making these cookie bars will be waiting for them to cool.
I love cookies with stuff in them. It is like a dessert inside of a dessert. Bonus dessert! White Chocolate Peanut Butter ‘Cookies & Cream’ Cookies combine cookies with chunks of your favorite sandwich cookies and white chocolate peanut butter cups.

This recipe needs no introduction, but I’ll write one anyway. There’s so many great things to say about this Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait, it’s one of my kids’ favorites. It includes a bed of rich chocolate pudding, under a layer of coconut whipped cream, and topped with fudgy chocolate brownies. Yum! Did I mention it’s Paleo-friendly? You have to try it for yourself.
I’m an environmentally conscious guy. I love to go out and look at the bounty of nature, admire landscapes, and ponder on the vast expanse of time that had to pass for all of it to exist. But, sometimes it gets real cold out and I’d rather stay inside. My Chocolate Hazelnut PasTREEs might not stir an existential crisis within you, but they are packed with JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter. When you want to connect with nature from the comfort of your kitchen, try these!
