Oh my goodness! So easy and tastes better than store bought that I paid $12 for!! Note to those struggling:
My vitamix blender seized or overheated while making this. I ended up having to take out some and put into my nutri ninja food processor and pulse until it was creamy. Then emptied that out and did a little more, then did the last bit. Do a little at a time should help the machines a bit. A little extra work but it was worth it to save $12!!!

In reply to Wayne. Hi Wayne, what kind of appliance are you using? That will make a difference.

In reply to Iris. Hi Iris, microwaving almonds won't give you the same results. If you only have access to a microwave, I would buy pre-roasted almonds.

In reply to Carolyn k Shepherd. I only have a microwave. Should I use it or just use almonds raw?

Loved this almond butter recipe! It was my first time making any kind of nut butter, and I knew I could count on Cookie and Kate for a terrific result. It was fun watching it transform from solid almonds to a semi-liquid nut butter in my food processor. Added the salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. The flavor is much better than store-bought and is worth the time. I left out the maple syrup because I will use it in other recipes.

In reply to WesternUS. Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with the Ninja blender system. I'm glad it was successful.

I started with 24 oz raw almonds (because I have a 24 oz jar to fill) and followed the instructions exactly. I used the food processor attachment of my Ninja AutoIQ Blender System, which I use to make big batches of pesto with decent results. (I’ve never had a stand-alone food processor so I can’t compare.) From the moment I started processing the warm nuts in the machine, until it reached the creamy consistency of almond butter, took a full 40 minutes. (It didn’t “seem” like that long because I was on-task the whole time, but I timed it because I was curious. My machine runs for 2-minute cycles before it stops automatically. I started with one cycle on low, scraped it down, one cycle on medium, scraped it down, and the rest on high, scraping down after each 2-minute cycle until I didn’t need to scrape anymore. I did pause for a full five minutes once because the mixture got “crazy hot.” Perhaps because of the configuration of my blades, mine didn’t turn into a ball at all, it just turned into almond butter. I got scared by comments about the mixture seizing up after adding maple syrup or flavoring, so I started with a bit of salt and some cinnamon, which seemed safer. After it cooled down to skin temperature, I dripped in a bit of almond extract while running the machine. A few minutes later I drizzled in a bit of maple syrup while running the machine. Success! It’s not as velvety smooth as commercial nut butters–there’s a tiny bit of almond “grit” in the mouth feel–but it’s delicious and won’t last long around here.

In reply to Angel W.. Hi Angel, I'm so surprised that happened. You could add a little melted coconut oil to help smooth out the texture.
