| Almond Butter made with the Vitamix |
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup raw organic almonds (presoaked)
- 2-3 tbsps raw organic honey or raw blue agave
- 1-2 tsp tahini (optional)
- 1 tsp celtic seasalt (optional)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup water (as needed)
VITAMIX DIRECTIONS
Put the almonds in your Vitamix. Blend slowly. This will chop the nuts and turn it into a powder, making it easier to make the "butter". Add all of the remaining above-listed ingredients. Add water, as needed. You want to add water so that it doesn't stick, but remember this is a "butter", so you want it thick and creamy, not watery...don't add too much water...but only enough to keep your blade spinning and mixing the ingredients thoroughly.
Please Note: While I prefer to use the Vitamix for processing Almond Butter, some don't care to do it that way. In those instances...listed below are separate directions for you.
FOOD PROCESSOR DIRECTIONS
In a food processor with an "S" blade. Put your pre-soaked and then dried nuts the food processor. Begin chopping and grading. Continue to do so until it turns into a powder...continue on until it turns into a doughy like consistency. It will do this all on its own. When it does, feel free to add your other ingredients with a little water and...voila! You have Almond Butter, made in your food processor!
