Big Spoon Roasters Carrot Cake Almond & Walnut Butter — 13 oz, Low-Sugar Vegan Spread with Crunch & Sea Salt

Big Spoon Roasters Carrot Cake Almond & Walnut Butter is a low-sugar, vegan spread that tastes like carrot cake in a jar—made from heirloom almonds, toasted walnuts, warm spices, maple, and Jacobsen sea salt.

This artisan almond and walnut butter blends a coarse, crunchy texture with pantry-friendly ingredients for a dessert-forward spread without refined sugar or palm oil. Crafted from Non-GMO Verified, pollinator-friendly Mission almonds and lightly toasted English walnuts, the recipe layers cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and a touch of maple to recreate the flavors of carrot cake while keeping the product paleo-friendly, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Each 13-ounce jar comes from a Living Wage Certified facility committed to ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility.

What does this almond butter actually taste like?

The profile is sweet-spiced rather than cloying: nutty almond and walnut notes underpin warm baking spices and a mild maple sweetness. Jacobsen sea salt brightens the flavors, and the coarse grind gives noticeable crunch—think spreadable carrot cake with nutty depth instead of frosting-level sweetness.

• Primary flavors: toasted almonds, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice
• Sweetener: pure maple syrup, no refined sugars
• Texture: coarse-ground, crunchy but spreadable
• Finish: light sea-salt lift for balance

How does it fit into low-sugar or keto-friendly eating?

Formulated without refined sugar and using maple syrup sparingly, this almond & walnut butter is lower in added sugars than many dessert spreads. While it’s not zero-carb, the product emphasizes healthy fats and minimal sweeteners, making it suitable for lower-sugar meal plans when portioned appropriately.

• No refined sugars or palm oil
• Contains natural fats from almonds and walnuts for satiety
• Recommended serving sizes for low-carb or keto-style budgets
• Always check nutrition label if following strict ketogenic ratios

How can I use this spread in everyday meals?

This spread works as a versatile ingredient: spread on toast, folded into oatmeal, dolloped on yogurt, or used in baking to add carrot-cake flavor without processed ingredients. Its coarse texture adds a pleasant crunch that enhances both sweet and savory pairings.

• Stir into overnight oats or hot porridge for richer flavor
• Spread on grain-free crackers, toast, or apple slices
• Use as a filling for energy balls or vegan desserts
