Yummy Almond Butter With 3 Variations image

My sis and me made Sharon's wonderful Recipe #172631 and liked it so much that we were inspired to come up with our own variations. We created a cocoa vanilla one, a vanilla and a cinnamon one. They are so yummy and taste kinda like candy only healthier. If you have a sweet tooth feel free to add in a ts or so of your favourite sweetener. The basic almond butter is different from Sharons in that is uses a little less oil and salt and a different method of preparation.

Time 15m

Yield 1 small bowl almond butter

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups almonds (skin on)
1/16 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil (a neutral one like sunflower or salad)
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder (unsweetened, good quality)
3/8 teaspoon ground vanilla bean
3/8 teaspoon ground vanilla bean
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile place almonds in a food processor and chop finely.
  • Place almond pieces in the skillet and dry toast for about 5 minutes. The almonds should smell roasty and have a slightly golden brown colour.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Place almonds, oil and salt in a food processor and process into a thick paste. You can also use an immersion blender for this.
  • If you like your almond butter less thick, just add a little more oil or water until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Now add in the flavourings of your choice. Mix them in well with a spoon.
  • Enjoy!
