Craving a delicious spread for your morning toast or a sweet ingredient for baking, but forgot to pick up that jar of cookie butter at the store? Don’t worry! With a few simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, you can whip up a homemade version that’s just as yummy. Say goodbye to store-bought alternatives and hello to the satisfaction of making your very own Cookie Butter Replacement!
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of graham crackers
– 1/4 cup of sugar
– 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup of whole milk
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
– A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Start by crushing the graham crackers in a food processor until you get fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the crackers in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix everything together until you have a smooth and spreadable consistency.
3. Taste your homemade cookie butter and adjust the sweetness or seasoning according to your preference. You can add more sugar for a sweeter flavor or more cinnamon for a spicier kick.
4. Once you’re satisfied with the taste, transfer your Cookie Butter Replacement to a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
5. Store your homemade creation in the refrigerator to allow it to thicken and develop its flavors. It will last for about two weeks, but we doubt it will be around that long once you taste it!
6. Enjoy your Cookie Butter Replacement on toast, waffles, pancakes, or use it as a filling in cakes and cookies. Get creative with how you incorporate this versatile spread into your recipes.
