This Paleo Almond Butter Crusted Chicken is anything but average. I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter in the marinade to complement the chicken. I also use almond meal instead of bread crumbs and I promise you, the taste isn’t compromised. My family loves this recipe for dinner, and I think yours will too!
Hotteok is a sweet, yeasty Korean pancake typically filled with cinnamon sugar and serves as a popular street snack. I took this as inspiration to stuff a yeasted dough with, you guessed it, Maple Almond Butter.
Roasted veggies are delicious by themselves. We took the savory flavor of warm roasted vegetables and tossed them with a creamy almond butter vinaigrette. Warm Autumn Salad with Almond Butter Vinaigrette is the perfect main dish or side for any meal.
Dessert is one of my favorite meals. But it got me thinking. How could dessert be even better? Make it a superfood! And that’s just what we did with these Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Superfood Fudge Brownies. Try them for a super dessert!
