Ingredients

  • 1 pound almonds about 3.5 cups

Instructions

Roasting Almonds
    Cup of Yum
  1. Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Place the almonds on a baking tray and roast for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Air Fryer: Place the almonds in the air fryer basket and roast at 330 degree fahrenheit for 6 minutes.
  3. Let the almonds cool completely to room temperature.
Blend in a high power blender
  1. Transfer the almonds to your Vitamix container.
  2. Place the lid on your Vitamix. Turn on the blender on high. Use the tamper through the lid as needed to push down on the almonds from the corner. In about 1-2 minutes the creamy almond butter will be ready.
  3. Transfer to a clean, dry glass air tight container. Don't close the lid until the almond butter is at room temperature.

Notes

  • Almond Butter in a food processor: 
  • The same method as mentioned above works for a food processor, but it just takes longer about 10-15 minutes. So be patient and scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed in between. 
  • Add-in flavorings: 
  • You can add below flavorings to your almond butter if you like. Add them after the almond butter has already blended to a smooth creamy consistency to the blender or food processor. 
  • Mixed Nut Butter:
  • You can mix multiple nuts such as cashews, peanuts, pecans and walnuts with the almonds to make a mixed nut butter. The exact same method will work.  
  • Vanilla 
  • Cinnamon 
  • Maple syrup
