Butter Cake:
2 tablespoons JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter
½ cup + ¼ cup Granulated Sugar, divided
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
5 cups Self-Rising Flour
2 cups Milk (Whole or 2% are best)
½ cup Unsalted Butter, melted
Glaze:
2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 tablespoon Milk
Purple, Green, and Gold Sprinkles
For the Butter Cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Mix a ½ cup of the sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Whisk the flour and the remaining ¼ cup of sugar together in a large bowl.
4. Add the milk and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter together in a medium bowl.
5. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
6. Place the dough onto a floured work surface.
7. Sprinkle with more flour, and knead until smooth, sprinkling with more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
8. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 24 x 10-inch-long rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
9. Brush 2 tablespoons of the melted butter onto the surface of the dough.
10. Sprinkle it evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and drizzle with JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter.
11. Slice the dough lengthwise into 10 long strips.
12. Fold each strip in half (“hamburger-style”).
13. Twist each strip in a spiral, shape into a circle, and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
14. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
For the Glaze:
1. To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk together until smooth.
2. Spread or pour immediately over the cooled king cakes and decorate with colored sprinkles.
I’m a sucker for a great doughnut, but sometimes I want to eat a whole dozen of them. My doctor tells me that eating that much fried dough isn’t good for me, but I’ve found a loophole. My Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter “Churro” Doughnuts are baked not fried. You still probably shouldn’t eat a dozen of them by yourself though.
Nothing says “Party” like a great dip. When it comes to this dip, I like to keep the guest list for the party down to just one. Sweet Potato-Almond Hummus combines sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter to create a hummus like you have never tried. Did I mention it is vegan? Happy snacking.
Did you know there’s pumpkins in the jungle? Maple Pumpkin Monkey Bread is a delicious pull-apart treat that’s so sweet, you’ll forget where you are! I make it with maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter for a delicious dessert that works any night of the week.

Charcuterie is a great word. It hits a lot of great sounds in one succinct word. Char-coo-ter-ee. Scientists still say they don’t know what it means, I’m pretty sure. When you’re making a charcuterie board for your guests, this Cranberry Almond Butter Baked Brie is a perfect fit and dip for spreads of all kinds. I make it with JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter, cranberry sauce, and a sprig of rosemary for garnish.
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.
When some people hear tofu, they turn up their noses. When I hear tofu, I think yum! It’s versatile and tastes great in this Thai Peanut Tofu Bowl. And when mixed with some JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter turns this dish into some delicious peanutty goodness!
What’s spookier than a mystery pretzel found in your suitcase purchased from an unidentified airport on an unknown trip from who knows how long ago? These Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Pretzels. And by spooky, I mean that in the spooktacularly-cute Halloween sense, of course. The mystery pretzel is the other kind of spooky.
Chia seeds are a super food. Super tasty and super good for you! When you whip up some of my coconut almond chia pudding, you’re getting a super boost of energy for whatever you tackle during the day. Get out there and start feeling super right now!
Hey guys, I wrote a morning poem for you:
A great way to start your day
