SOLD! This is probably the easiest DIY thing I have ventured upon since starting Simply Hillbilly. All you need…3 cups of Almonds and a food processor(makes 1 pint of almond butter). Blend baby blend! It takes a spell, but give it time and eventually all the oils in the nuts will begin to break down and come out, resulting in a creamy goodness. For a chunky version, chop some almonds and stir in. As always go organic when you can!
Does it make a difference if you use raw or roasted almonds?
Definitely using roasted almonds gives the butter a hearty, richer flavor. So if you have the time and raw almonds, roast away! Or just buying roasted almonds will eliminate that step all together. I used raw organic almonds and added a little agave nectar because the taste was a little bland. Thanks for the comment and let me know if you tried it and how it turned out for you.
