walnut butter

Tree-nut paste alternative

Walnut butter is a spread made from ground walnuts, similar to peanut butter but with a richer, slightly bitter flavor.

It can be used on toast, in smoothies, or as an ingredient in baking.

Like other nut butters, it's valued for its healthy fats and protein content: I swapped peanut butter for walnut butter in the cookies.
