As the holiday season approaches, I cannot help but think of fun, homemade treats I can give my loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This year, I am all about giving jars filled with delicious treats such as jams, date spreads, chocolates, and nut butter.<\/p>\n

But not just any nut butter; I’m talking about chestnut butter!<\/p>\n

Well, I know you may be thinking, “Chestnut butter? I’ve never heard about it.”<\/p>\n

I was in the same boat until I decided to experiment with it.<\/p>\n

Chestnuts differ from other nuts in their fat content, so I had to come up with a different way to make the butter than the classic peanut or almond butter.<\/p>\n

I combined chestnuts with walnuts to give the butter a healthy fat profile and added a little water and sunflower oil for the perfect texture.<\/p>\n

One of the best things about this chestnut butter is that it can be flavored in so many different ways.<\/p>\n

You can add some dates or honey for a sweeter spread or spices such as cardamom or vanilla.<\/p>\n

Add cream cheese and dates for a fresh twist or garlic, herbs, and lemon for a savory spread.<\/p>\n

The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

For the chestnut butter, I have made a basic recipe<\/a> that is very mild and creamy.<\/p>\n

With jam or honey and banana slices, it’s delicious.<\/p>\n

It’s perfect for experimenting with different flavors because it’s not as distinctive in flavor as other nut butter.<\/p>\n

It’s also healthier and lower in calories than other nut butter.<\/p>\n

Chestnut butter making is also super easy.<\/p>\n

I saved a handful of pitted chestnuts from a previous recipe and blended everything together.<\/p>\n

Voila!<\/p>\n

The perfect homemade holiday gift.<\/p>\n
