Cinnamon Almond Butter image

This stuff is so creamy and good. It reminds me of the candied almonds from the fairs but in almond butter form. I have expensive taste but not a lot of money so I found a way to make my own almond butter and have a cheap alternative to peanut butter that is easy to make. I have found other recipes that are not very flavorful so I made up my own. Enjoy on toast, sandwiches, crackers, fruit, etc. It goes very well with anything you would put peanut butter on.

Time 43m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups whole raw almonds
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread the almonds into a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the almonds in the preheated oven until dark brown, about 8 minutes. Be careful to not overcook. Allow to cool completely before proceeding.
  • Blend the almonds in a blender until thick and creamy, 8 to 10 minutes. The mixture will be very dry initially and then begin to clump. Scrape the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula as needed to keep the almonds blending. Add the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; continue blending until completely smooth. Store in refrigerator.
