While I continue to binge watch Scandal on Netflix (I've gotten through two and a half seasons in about 4 days), I also continue to eat. I loved my homemade peanut butter I made the other day. It's been delicious on bananas, oatmeal or spoons. It's so good that I've decided to experiment a little with nut butters. I'm going crazy now with almond butter. It's made the same way as the peanut butter, so it really doesn't take much skill.
Ingredients:
Almonds (as much as you like, but enough so that the food processor has enough to puree)
Take some almonds, put them on a single layer on a baking dish, place them in a 350 oven for about 15-20 minutes. Make sure to toss them around a little while they are baking. Then, once they are nice and toasty (you should be able to smell them at this point), pull them out and put them in a food processor and blend them up until it's nice and smooth. You might have to scrape the sides down a few times. It takes a while, it first becomes like a bread crumbs but just keep blending and you'll get there. It would also make a great gift, just a small jar of homemade almond butter. Or, you can just enjoy it yourself, which is what I do obviously.
