Gluten Free Cookie Butter

Have you tried Trader Joes Cookie Butter or avoided it due to the gluten? It is delicious and I decided to try to make a healthier version. I am so glad I tried because this turned out amazing!

If you do not have a food mill you can do this in a food processor.  Simply be sure to stop frequently to wipe down the sides of the processor and make sure your machine does not overheat.

When I made this the coconut sugar got warm in the machine and started melting then clogged up the machine.  The next time I made it I simply stirred in the coconut sugar with the honey and spices.  Adding the coconut sugar during this step also gives the butter a better texture!

Due to the lower glycemic sweeteners in this recipe this is also a great diabetic recipe for kids! If you have allergies to tree nuts, you may still be able to eat this recipe in that almonds are considered a fruit seed!?  Prefer peanuts or cashew flavor? Try them with these same sweeteners and spices.
