Homemade almond butter…made from organic raw almonds that were soaked for 24hrs in water with sea salt, then dehydrated overnight, followed by being roasted in the oven and finally were blended with a few other wholesome ingredients to create the creamiest and most delicious tasting almond butter you’ve ever had! I suppose you could just pour some almonds in the blender and mix them up, but the end product would definitely not be the same! The beauty of making your own is that you can add in different ingredients to customize the flavor to be whatever your little heart desires. I chose to make this one original with a hint of vanilla.
1⃣Soak 2c organic raw almonds in 5c of water with 1t sea salt overnight
2⃣Rinse then dehydrate at 150F for 8-12hrs
3⃣Roast dehydrated almonds in the oven if you would like your almond butter to have that “toasty” flavor, if not skip this step
4⃣Place almonds in your blender (I used vitamix so not sure how long others take) along with:
🔹2T coconut oil
🔹1/2-1t sea salt to taste
🔹1t pure vanilla extract
5⃣Blend on high for about a minute (may be longer) using the tamper if necessary (I put mine in directly from the dehydrator and they were hot so they mixed easily) until a smooth texture is achieved. Taste to see if flavors need adjusting, if not, you’re done!
6⃣Store in the refrigerator
**This if another one of my base recipes. There are so many add-ins that can be used for almond butter. Some ideas are coconut sugar, pure maple syrup or maple extract, banana, honey, caramel extract, coffee extract, etc!**
