Toasted Almond Butter

Toasted Almond Butter

Ingredients: 1 lb bag of organic California ALMONDS

Take Almonds and put them on a cookie sheet and preheat oven to 400 degrees

Place almonds in the oven for 10 minutes, checking after 8.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer if you are patient.  

I like them WARM not hot for the food processor

Place in food processor, and turn it on.

at first you see this, spinning almond meal

see almond crushed up.

then after a few minutes you see it kinda clumping to one side

and then a almond ball and you think, what's going on in there!

It's all good, let it do it's thing.

Finally it smooths out after about 8 minutes and starts to look like almond butter

this is when I do a good scrapping of the top and the sides to get it all in there.

after another minute or so you have ALMOND BUTTER.  Total time in the food processor, anywhere from 8 to 11 minutes.

Toasted Almond Butter!  YUM!  We eat almost daily with an apple, a pear, or a banana.
