Today I made my own almond butter on a whim. I used roasted unsalted almonds from Trader Joe's. Raw almonds do not work, so if you purchase them raw, roast them first.
12oz Roasted unsalted organic almonds
1/2 t Celtic sea salt
1 T Tubinado sugar
In a food processor, course grind the almonds, reserve 1/2 cup.
Grind the almonds until smooth and creamy about 10 minutes.
Add turbinado sugar and salt, blend well.
Add any additional ingredients to taste. (* dark chocolate chunks, cinnamon, vanilla or maple bacon)
Store the almond butter in small mason jars. Refrigerate.
What is so surprising is how simple it is to do and costs so much less than what you can buy. Plus I like choosing my own ingredients.
We eat almond butter on toast or crackers with a little honey and cinnamon. DELICIOUS!
A little of this, a little of that. What we cook is rarely planned. We simply have a well stocked pantry and we decide in the moment. The advantage is fresh cooked, healthy meals prepared the old fashioned way...slow. We like to call it MAD pantry cooking.
