It all started with a bag of almonds.

Then, I ran out of almond butter.

So, I simply whipped out my food processor, cleaned out my old jar of nut butter and created a masterpiece.

Right in my very kitchen.

There’s a first time for everything.

And now, I’m on a Nut Butter kick.

Yum.

A spoonful or two to taste…and it was perfect.

Then, into a clean nut butter jar.

And you’re all set.

Easy as pie.

But simply without the gluten…

Enjoy!

  1. Yummmmm looks great. I see flax in there is that sea salt? and Almonds is that the entire recipe? should I roast the Almonds first. Sorry I am quite new with the clean foods. I cannot find the recipe should I just wing it and see what happens.

    1. Yes, those are flax seeds and sea salt. You can use ground flax seeds to make it easier for you. No apologies; I’m happy to help anytime. Have a great night!!

  2. Kristin, Yeaa…Sounds good; my times are on the website…I’ll be on around 5ish and would love to see you! Hope all is well; enjoy your weekend and great to hear from you, as always.

    1. oops, didn’t see that listed there, I only glanced and saw that you were around. My concert is at 3:00 so I don’t think I can get to it but maybe mom and I can see you before or after it. As always, love the site, so many good lookin’ things on here!

  3. so Aims, I am going to be in NYC for a concert on the 3rd… looks like I might have to check this biz out, what time are you doing this?

    1. Thank you so much, Liz; great to hear from you! I agree, I love making homemade nut butters as they are so much cheaper than the store brands and you have complete control over the ingredients and possible cross-contamination.
      Have a great day and thank you again.

  4. Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to make nut butter ever since my parents gave me a food processor for my birthday. I’m out of town right now but as soon as I get home some nuts are gonna get chopped up good 🙂

  5. Awesome! I never would have though to add tofu to make this–brilliant. I have a cousin who is gluten intolerant–I’ll have to keep this in mind.

    1. Thank you, Jenna; great to hear from you. I love spreading this nut butter atop my roasted tofu…it’s delish and perfect for dipping or spreading…hope you enjoy it!
      Have a great day.
      Best,

  6. Sounds delicious!
    I can’t wait to be back in a kitchen with a food processor so that
    I can make yummy things like this.

    1. Thanks Cara; hope you enjoy this almond butter…I’m a food processor lover, hehe…I’m lovin’ making nut butters and hummus and pates with it…it’s so versatile and fun. Have a great day and thanks for your comment.
      Best,
