And with so many good brands on the market I\u2019ve never tried to make my own. Last week it was freezing and I made spiced hot chocolate after dinner. I experimented by adding almond butter to make it thick and rich, it turned out creamy and so decadent. This and the fact I had a Costco sized bag of almonds led me make almond butter at home. The result was a rich, creamy and delicious butter. I divided the butter into three and made 3 different flavors. Matcha, chocolate and chai spices.<br \/>\n<b><u>There are a few things to note:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><i>you will need a heavy-duty food processor. One that can run 10-12 minutes without getting hot or tripping.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>I used raw almonds. You can try roasted nuts for a nuttier taste.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>I&#8217;ve also made combination of nut and seed butter which is also delicious. Use equal amounts of almonds, cashews and sunflower seeds.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Add spices and maple syrup at the last pulse or mix it manually, it will seize up and get dry if added sooner.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>The time given are approximate, this depends on the machine, and it&#8217;s power.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Scrape down frequently so the nuts are evenly ground.<\/i><\/li>\n<li>add more or less spices to suit your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3986\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=3986\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg?fit=739%2C735&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"739,735\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D80&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1136137697&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg?fit=739%2C735&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3986 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg?resize=739%2C735\" alt=\"\" width=\"739\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg?w=739&amp;ssl=1 739w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/0E878BC8-5780-42D8-9F44-1CC3164170BC.jpeg?resize=300%2C298&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><u><\/u><\/b><b><u><\/u><\/b><b><u>You will need \/\/ makes about a cup of butter<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups of raw almonds<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon almond oil or any neutral nut cold pressed virgin oil<\/li>\n<li><b><u>For Chai spices butter<\/u><\/b><\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon ground cardamom<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon ground turmeric<\/li>\n<li>pjnch of black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon saffron (optional)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon ground ginger<\/li>\n<li>1-2 teaspoon maple syrup<\/li>\n<li><b><u>For Matcha<\/u><\/b><\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon maple syrup<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon culinary grade matcha<\/li>\n<li><b><u>For chocolate<\/u><\/b><\/li>\n<li>1-2 tablespoons raw cacao powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon maple syrup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Place the nuts in the food processor.

It may seem the recipe doesn&#8217;t work, but the full-time is needed to get to the right texture.<br \/>\nWhen you get the smooth and creamy texture, add the spices and pulse 1-2 times to blend evenly or mix it with a spatula or fork. Add the flavor of you choice. Mix or pulse a couple of times to blend.<br \/>\nTransfer to a clean jar. Store in the fridge.<br \/>\nGreat over toasted bread, porridge, sandwich spread, fruit slices or slather wherever you need nutty goodness. I caught my son spoon it directly from the jar standing in the fridge, it&#8217;s that kind a good stuff!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/BBAB9BD5-31BC-43F0-87A7-20857C6EAB6E.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3987 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nutrilious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/BBAB9BD5-31BC-43F0-87A7-20857C6EAB6E-667x1024.jpeg?resize=667%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homemade nut butter\u00a0\u00a0are perfect with so many things.
