Almond butter is the king of all spreads (so long as you don’t have a nut allergy)! It’s rich in monounsaturated fats which are heart-healthy and high in protein content. Replacing jam, maple syrup and even packaged nut butters with homemade almond butter is a terrific and healthy choice.

Ingredients:

(makes12 servings)

  • 1 ½ cup raw almonds               

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract              

  • 1 tsp honey                             

  • A pinch of cinnamon

  • A pinch of salt  


How to prepare:

  1. Roast the almonds on a pan on a slow flame for 10 minutes

  2. Let the almonds cool for about 10 minutes or until they’re just warm (not hot)

  3. Put the almonds through a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides, as necessary. The almonds will go from flour-like clumps to a ball, and then to a lusciously creamy texture. If the mixture gets hot along the way, stop and let it cool for a few minutes

  4. Once the almond butter has cooled and is smooth and creamy, blend in the salt, cinnamon and honey

  5. Let the almond butter cool to room temperature, then transfer the mixture to an airtight jar and screw on the lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
