Making your own homemade nut butter isn’t as hard as you might think. And it can save you money, and save you in a pinch when you run out and need a small amount.
It only requires two things: nuts and a food processor. I have this one and bought it at Wal-mart for $8. I use it for everything. And it’s never caused me an issue and it doesn’t take up much space. I’ve had it for 3+ years.
1. Take nuts, (almonds in this case) and start chopping them. You can use whole nuts/pieces. This picture was taken after a few pluses on the food processer.
2. Keep processing…it will get finer and finer. If you get to here, you’re almost at almond flour stage.
3. You’ve made it! (almond butter)
3. You’ve made it (peanut butter!)
Enjoy! If you have any tips on how to make nut butter, let me know…I’m wondereding why the almond butter didn’t get as creamy and was more dough like…maybe because it was unroasted.
This sounds really yummy! I have to try it. It's so healthy to make nut butter at home. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think it has to do with how oily the nut or seed is - peanuts are pretty oily, so I think that is why the butter gets creamier. Macadamia nuts get SUPER creamy. but things like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds tend to need oil added to them.
ReplyDeleteKim------Thanks for visting/commenting! That's what I was thinking too. I just thought almonds would be more oily like the nut butters I've purchased in the store. :) I'm going to try it today roasted. -Ari
