Preparation

Step 1

You can make a mild tasting almond butter by using whole, unsalted almonds and a richer flavor almond butter by roasting your nuts on a baking sheet at 375 degrees for 5-6 minutes. Make sure that you watch them closely so they do not burn.

Using the "S" blade on a food processor, add your almonds to the bowl. Process nuts for 20-25 minutes (roasted almonds will process faster), stopping periodically to scrape down the bowl, breaking apart the mound when it starts forming into a ball.

At about the half way mark, add the remaining ingredients (depending on which blend you choose) You may feel like it's never going to happen and then..........this part takes patience.........

The nuts finally break down and release their oils you are left with creamy and delicious homemade almond butter! I like to store mine in glass mason jars because they are cute, the perfect size and eco-friendly. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks for best flavor.
