Smooth-As-Honey White Bean Spread Is a Snack Worth Buzzing About by Tina Haupert

This white bean spread recipe is my new favorite. Mixing white beans, almond butter, honey and cinnamon together might sound a little strange to you, but I promise it’s a winning combination! Prepare it ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Spread on toast, an English muffin, fresh fruit, rice cakes or pancakes. You can also mix this into oatmeal or a smoothie for a quick and seriously satisfying addition to breakfast.

You'll need:

• 1/3 cup canned white beans, drained and rinsed 
• 3 tablespoons creamy almond butter
• 2 tablespoons honey 
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. 
2. Use a spatula to transfer spread to a glass container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator.
