Crunchy Almond Butter

You can add a pinch of salt to your almond butter for more flavor. You can also add sugar, honey, or maple syrup for sweetness. Spices—such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg—can also be added for additional flavor. Homemade almond butter can be stored for up to three weeks in the refrigerator. Protein is an essential part of our diets as it helps to maintain and repair muscles and it is especially important that you hit your daily recommended protein allowance if you live an active lifestyle and enjoy working out. Preparation time is how long it takes for the blender to make the best almond butter it can. We time the test with a stopwatch, and we also film the process in case there's any doubt about when the almond butter finished. We respect any continuous runtime and suggested cooldown times listed in the manual. For an immersion blender, if there are no instructions in the manual, we run it for one minute at a time and allow it to cool down for one minute before blending again. We also clean almond butter from under the blades during the cooldown time; this helps the blending process. If you’ve been patient and still aren’t happy with the texture, consider adding a teaspoon or two of neutral oil to help the nuts along. Grape seed oil, avocado oil or a vegetable oil are all good options.

What makes the healthiest almond butter:

We use the main jar for this test, which is usually the biggest one. For immersion blenders, we don't use any included jars; instead, we use our own 32-oz OXO beaker. This is because the beakers included with immersion blenders can be thin plastic, easily scratched by dry ingredients like almonds. It also means the test is more consistent for this type of blender since the results aren't affected by the size or shape of the included beaker. To make almond butter, start with raw almonds. I toast them until fragrant in the oven, which takes about 10 minutes in a 350° Fahrenheit oven. After letting the almonds cool for a few minutes so they are not piping hot, we toss them into our food processor (you can also use a high speed blender).
