I love a simple recipe.I love it even more when the food being prepared is a healthy alternative to another food that I also love.
Such is the case with Almond Butter. You won't believe how easy it is.
What You Need:
- 2 cups of raw almonds
- healthy oil (olive, grapeseed)
- salt to taste
- food processor
- Put almonds in food processor and turn to High.
- Continue working really hard at watching the food processor do all the work.
- The oils in the nuts will release, turning this dry and dusty substance into smooth and creamy. This can take up to 10 minutes.
- Drizzle oil into the smooth and creamy until desired thickness/thinness is achieved.
- Salt (optional)
- Store unused portion in an air-tight container in the fridge.
**** Healthy, homemade Almond Butter! *****
I told you it was easy!
Now, what would you spread it on?
Bon appetit,
Cheryl

ReplyDeleteWhat a cook recipe!! I'll keep you posted if I try it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never had almond butter but I love almonds....gonna have to try this.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fun. I know it seems crazy but I don't have a processor. I have a juicer, blender, but no processor. Sounds tasty! :o)
ReplyDeleteThe first time I made this, I was sure MY almonds were not going to turn into "butter"...but they did! @Heidi, if your blender is pretty powerful, it should work in there too. :)
