Almond Butter Recipe

Rosanne's Almond Butter Recipe

16 oz raw whole almonds

baking pan

food processor

Bake raw almonds on baking sheet for 8-10 minutes. By baking the almonds it brings out the flavor!

Then slowly add roasted almonds to food processor. At first it will be dry then it will paste up. It could take up to 10 minutes for Almond Butters natural oils to come out. You can also add a small amount (1 teaspoon or more pure vegetable oil). Another option would be to add sea salt or kosher salt. I did not add salt to mine.

A very healthy pre/post workout meal/breakfast or snack: Whole wheat toast with almond butter and 1/2 banana.

*I would assume you could use this recipe for any kind of nut. *Remember to watch your portion. Do not use too much/eat to many nuts throughout the day. They are healthy for you, but too many can cause weight gain!
