Almond Butter

Since Adam is also peanut free for his detox diet we tried making some almond butter.  We passed on the whole foods grinder and tried out a homemade recipe.

1 cup toasted almonds (you can toast raw almonds at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, shake around a few times and don’t let them burn)

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon honey

Put it all through the food processer and let it run.  If the texture is crumbly keep processing and it will start to smooth out.  Adjust the salt and honey to taste.  You can add some more oil to make it smoother.

It’s best served fresh.  Store it in the fridge, it will be a little crumbly when you take it out.  You can let it sit at room temperature for a little while or you can put it through the food processer again for a few pulses.

It’s good with gluten free Blue Diamond Nut Crackers.
