Almond Butter

Homemade almond butter is a great staple ingredient to have in your fridge or pantry. Spread it on toast, use it in smoothies for healthy fats and protein, in baking for a subtle nutty flavor, or even in savory cooking to complement spicy sauces! Using raw almonds and roasting them yourself creates a fresher-tasting almond butter with minimal extra steps.

Ingredients:

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Spread almonds evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
3. Set up your Vidiem Mixer-Grinder by placing the chutney jar onto the motor base.
4. Working in batches, add about half of the almonds and secure the lid.
5. Pulse a few times, until the almonds are finely ground. Make sure to hold the lid in place so it remains secure.
6. Blend on speed 1 until your desired consistency is reached, stopping to scrape down the sides of the jar with a rubber spatula as needed.
7. Transfer the almond butter to a container and repeat with the remaining almonds.

Yield: 16 oz
