Ingredients

  • Homemade Almond Butter
  • 4 cups whole almonds roasting optional 
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil 
  • Honey Almond Butter
  • 4 cups whole almonds roasting optional 
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 
  • 2 tbsp raw local honey 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil 
  • Maple Almond Butter
  • 4 cups whole almonds roasting optional
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 
  • 2 tbsp dark amber maple syrup 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil 
  • Cinnamon Almond Butter
  • 4 cups whole almonds roasting optional
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 
  • 2 tbsp raw organic agave nectar 
  • 1-2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • 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.
  • After about 10 minutes, add the remaining ingredients (depending on which flavor you are making).  You may feel like it’s never going to happen and then nuts finally break down and release their oils, creating creamy and delicious homemade almond butter!  
  • Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. I like to store mine in glass mason jars because they are cute, the perfect size, and eco-friendly.
