Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • A dash of Vanilla or Cinnamon optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread a thin layer of almonds onto a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the baking tray with almonds into the oven. Toast the almonds in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway. Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Place the toasted and cooled almonds in a food processor (or blender.) Lightly pulse the almonds little by little, pause to clean the sides of the food processor, then continue to chop the almonds until they become smooth.
  4. The almond butter will eventually get creamier and creamier as you keep blending it. Keep blending until the almond butter starts to become thin and ultra-creamy like below.
  5. Finally, you can add your add-ins like salt or spices. Add one teaspoon of salt, then continue to blend the almond butter.
  6. Once the almond butter has become runny and the salt has been added, it's ready to be served or stored. Carefully, pour the almond butter into a jar with a tight-fitting lid so it remains fresh until you're ready to eat it.
