Thick, creamy, all-natural, and oh-so-delicious, Maple Almond Butter is so easy to make, and you can use it in so many ways! Makes about 2 cups.
Ingredients
2
cups
almonds
¼
cup
real maple syrup not pancake syrup
3
teaspoons
avocado oil
,
or coconut oil divided
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
½
teaspoon
cinnamon
½
teaspoon

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
On a large baking sheet, lay down a piece of parchment paper. Add the almonds and toss with maple syrup and two teaspoons of oil.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring several times while baking.
Let cool for 10 minutes.
In a food processor add the almonds and whip until smooth, scraping the sides down as you whip, for about 5 minutes.
The mixture will be creamy.
Add in vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and 1 teaspoon of oil in the food processor. Mix until very creamy and thick.
Transfer to a ramekin and serve with dinner rolls, croissants, toast, or even with crackers on an appetizer plate.
