There is one thing that I love more than peanut butter and it is almond butter. Unfortunately, it's super expensive. I paid nearly 10 dollars for a tiny jar over the weekend!! I decided that it was time to start making my own, so I went out to the store and bought 4 cups of almonds (only 8 dollars).
What you'll need:
2 cups of almonds (or as many as you like)
Gradually add almonds to a food processor or blender. Process for 8-12 minutes, scrapping down the sides as you go. At first, the almonds will be a powder-like texture, but over time, they will turn into a smooth butter-like texture. Be patient. If you need to, add a little bit of oil to loosen the almonds up. I've also read a few blogs that suggest various add ins, such as honey, sea salt, cocoa powder, vanilla, etc.
Two cups of almonds makes approximately one mason jar of almond butter. Enjoy!
