Yummy Almond Butter With 3 Variations
My sis and me made Sharon's wonderful Recipe #172631 and liked it so much that we were inspired to come up with our own variations. We created a cocoa vanilla one, a vanilla and a cinnamon one. They are so yummy and taste kinda like candy only healthier. If you have a sweet tooth feel free to add in a ts or so of your favourite sweetener. The basic almond butter is different from Sharons in that is uses a little less oil and salt and a different method of preparation.

DIRECTIONS
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Meanwhile place almonds in a food processor and chop finely.
- Place almond pieces in the skillet and dry toast for about 5 minutes. The almonds should smell roasty and have a slightly golden brown colour.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Place almonds, oil and salt in a food processor and process into a thick paste. You can also use an immersion blender for this.
- If you like your almond butter less thick, just add a little more oil or water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Now add in the flavourings of your choice. Mix them in well with a spoon.
- Enjoy!
