Homemade Almond Butter
A few months back I discovered the Peanut butter. At first I found its taste a bit weird and unappealing but halfway through the first jar I felt inlove with it. Now it is irreplaceable part of my cooking and my snacks. So today I decided to try and make my own nut butter. I still have some peanut butter in the jar and almond butter is impossible to find in most of the stores (I have to go across town if I want to find almond butter) so i decided to give a try and prepare my own homemade almond butter. It turned out to be so easy that I think I'll never go back to jarred nut butters.
Ingredients:
- Almonds (or other nuts of your choosing - peanuts, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, walnut, pistachio and macadamia would work just fine)
How-To:
- Place the nuts in food processor/blender and blend them together for few minutes until they turn into dust.
- Then stop and scrape the mixture from the sides.
- Proceed to blending them until they turn into nice, thick and smooth almond butter. And this is it!
NOTE: A handful of almonds makes 2 tbsp of butter. So for a whole jar you'll probably need up to 500 grams of almonds.
TIP: I highly recommend the following snack: a toasted slice of wheat bread cover with almond butter and a few slices of apple placed on top of it. Sprinkle with cinnamon for extra special taste.
