Almond Butter

By GratefulSea

I use a Cuisinart for this, but it will work just as well in a Ninja blender. Serve with apples, carrots, bananas, pita bread, on pancakes, with jam. . . add a few honey-roasted peanuts for a bit of, well, honey-roasted flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 cups dry-roasted, unsalted almonds
• (optional) 1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts
• (optional) 1 to 2 Tablespoons Canola oil for a creamier texture

Preparation

Step 1

Pour almonds into food processor. Pulse/process until the nuts go from coarsely chopped, to crumbly, to finely ground. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.

Process again until the almonds resemble a thick and relatively smooth almond butter.
