    Almond butter recipe⠀
    Almond butter is simple to make and easy to pair with lots of different foods. Peanut sauce? Try making almond sauce instead. You can use it as a topping on toast, or put it with different fruits - I like it with apples. I like to use unsalted, dry roasted almonds.⠀
    You’ll need⠀
    3 cups of almonds. That’s it! (You might need a teaspoon or a tablespoon of oil.)⠀
    Throw the almonds in a food processor and pulse them until they become a thick consistency. If they don’t stick together and get ‘buttery,’ you can throw in a teaspoon to a tablespoon of your favorite vegetable oil until the consistency is more appropriate.⠀
    This will keep in the fridge for up to three weeks. You can add cinnamon, honey, nutmeg, or any of your favorite spices to change up the flavor or tweak it to your personal preference.
