Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almonds raw & unsalted
  • 2 tbsp turbinado brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or coconut oil
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Using a food processor, add 2 cups of raw almonds.  Blend for a few minutes.  Keep checking in between to scrape down the sides. Around the 11th or 12th minute, you should have a dough shaped look of almond butter. Blend for another 30 seconds to a minute and eventually you’ll have just the right consistency around the 13th minute, smooth and creamy.
  • Next. add brown sugar, oil, and just a small pinch of salt. Now PULSE about 5 to 10 times. Be careful during this step because if you pulse too long the consistency of the almond butter will become chunky and grainy. Transfer the almond butter to a jar.  Store in a cool area, stays good for about 2 weeks.
