While working on a project for a client recently I realized how easy it really is to make your own almond butter. No need to be paying outrageous prices for a small jar of the healthy nut spread. I’ve taken out the soaking step, added a hint of cinnamon and the result is fabulous!

Ingredients
- 1 lb. whole natural almonds
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Arrange almonds in single layer on baking sheet and bake 15 minutes until lightly toasted; cool completely.
- Reserve 1/4 cup almonds.*
- Process remaining almonds in food processor until a creamy mixture forms, scraping sides and bottom occasionally. This step will take 8-10 minutes. While the nuts are chopping the sound will be loud but you will actually hear when it turns into a creamy almond butter. There will be a definite change in the sound. Be sure to stop the food processor every so often to avoid overheating and to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add kosher salt and cinnamon and puree 1 minute until blended.
- Add reserved 1/4 cup almonds and pulse until small bits are formed, creating a crunchy almond butter.
- Transfer to airtight container. Store in a cool dark place or in the refrigerator.
Notes
- *Prefer your almond butter to be creamy? Just add all of the almonds to the food processor from the beginning!
