Homemade cashew butter in vitamix

It should be noted that softer nuts, like cashews and macadamia nuts, are easily turned to butter in the Vitamix. Almonds are just trickier. This process is a LOT faster if you warm the almonds in an oven first. Depending on the size of your food processor, you can grind up to 4 cups of almonds at a time. I recommend sticking to about 3 cups, to make the process move a little faster.

Be prepared, the food processor will be running for a while. Even smoother than some store-bought brands. Here's a quick and easy tutorial on how to make raw almond butter in your food processor. No added oil required! To make raw almond butter, there's no need to heat your almonds first-- just skip to the next step. However, if you'd like to speed-up the process, you can warm up the almonds in an oven at degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Place the almonds in a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, and process them until creamy. You may want to stop and scrape down the sides every now and then, but this process will take up to 25 minutes, or less if you heat your almonds first using the step above. You can stop and give your food processor a break, too, if you'd like. Mine usually handles it just fine, but some processors will automatically shut off for a break if they start to get too hot. Once totally smooth and creamy, transfer the almond butter to a glass jar and store it in the fridge.

I've found that almond butter with no additives usually lasts at least a month, if not longer. Do not be tempted to add anything, other than possibly a drop of oil, to the almonds before they turn into a smooth butter. Adding sweeteners or water can ruin the texture of your almond butter and will affect the shelf life as well. You can use the resulting almond butter immediately in one of your favorite recipesor transfer to a sealed glass container to store in the fridge. A few tips about making your own almond butter:.

September 17, at 5: The vitamix will make almond butter but you have to use at least four cups at a time of raw frozen almonds raw almonds that you freeze yourself. Place in the large jug and pusle on high using the tamper.

I actually think that this almond butter tastes identical to the Artisana brand. Hope this helps anyone with a vitamix that wants to try making almond butter. I just made this recipe at home and it totally is awesome especially on some nicely toasted bread mmmmmm yummy. September 28, at September 30, at 7: October 2, at I need some help, I have started making interplast trade new york stock exchange almond butter and I have gotten past the dry powdery stage and I thought it was at the butter stage but it is now a glue.

I need to know what to do to fix. October 2, at 3: Ok, so I went and added cold processed coconut oil to the almond butter and it worked. The taste kind of reminds me of an almond joy.

October 6, at I roasted the almonds before doing this and it only took me 5 MINUTES of food processing to get almond butter!! Thanks for all of the amazing recipes! October 6, at 5: This was really easy and very delicious. I used my food processor, and it only took about 15 minutes to get to the really creamy butter stage.

October 8, at 9: I am trying to make almond butter in my food processor and my Ninja and it is only being broken down into a very fine crumble. What am I doing wrong? Can something be added to assist in the aldi trading hours anzac day 2012 down or are these a wash? October 11, at 2: I am new to almond butter — making and I have no idea how it should taste like,,, two days ago I tried it out and as I was losing patience and hope the miracle happened ….

It all seemed fine till I tasted it…. Or is almond butter different? Mine is dry though a layer of oil is sitting on top of the butter. Is this normal or did I do it wrong smewhere?? October 22, at I added hazelnuts to my recipe. I also did soak them makes them softer. Just store in the fridge. Another great butter is made using chestnuts. I cannot find those in my upstate grocer. October 23, at 8: We could not eat the almonds because they were too hard. The Cuisinart worked just find.

Made a small amount just to make sure. Now to incorporate it in a few recipes. October 23, at 4: I just made this and it is wonderful! I love that I know how fresh it is and the cost sure is a lot better than buying it in the store.

Thank you so much for posting it! November 3, at Just finished my almond butter and it is AWESOME!!!!!!!! The process was EXACTLY like you said…. I loved this tutorial…I would of quit thinking I was doing something wrong….

I waited another minutes then the magic happened!!! I used 3 cups of almonds,pinch of sea salt,tad bit of coconut oil and honey! November 10, at Just made this with the remaining 2 cups of almonds I had on hand. I dry roasted the almonds first as suggested and it was super easy! Thank you, I will never be buying store bought again! November 14, at 3: Thanks so much, I had no idea it was so easy to make yourself!! I must have a good processor as the entire time to make it was only about minutes!

November 18, at 4: My food processor is only W; i am glad it did not break down for this.

November 19, at 3: Thank you so much for posting this recipe. The ones I have found are expensive and high in calories. I roast raw nuts and make my own trail mix and had a little over three cups of almonds left.

So I decided to try to make almond butter. Found this recipe and gave it a try. I set the timer to scrape the sides of the food processor in 10 minutes. The almond butter was ready when the timer went off!

My husband has NEVER liked almond butter but I made him try and he actually liked it.

A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE! Raw Cashew Butter Love! • The Healthy Foodie

Thanks for making a convert out of us! November 21, at 1: I just made almond butter starting with store bought almond meal that I slightly roasted in the oven for a couple minutes. Used my ancient Braun food processor and it took about 2 minutes total — completely creamed!

I then proceeded to add almond milk, stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg. This is soooo good. November 30, at 8: I am using a Kitchen Aid 7 cup basic food processor, with the S blade. I even switched the whole thing to the original pitcher-like Ninja with three tiers of blades with lots of scapeing, like every 30 seconds.

Same amount of scraping in the food processor! What have I done wrong?? July 13, at 3: Needs to be dry before you start… if you have a dehydrator use that to dry out your meal; otherwise put in the oven to dry. Spredd it out well to minimize the time and thus the potential for spoilage. When completely dry put in the food processor still warm and it should work in a few minutes. November 30, at December 12, at 9: December 13, at I make this all the time in my vitamix and it takes about 2 minutes!

If you are going to use the vitamix, however, it works better in bigger batches. December 14, at 5: Hi, I made AB tonight on impulse. I had left over almonds from a bark I just made and thought it would be great to try it out. I read quite a few of the responses on here and decided to put my almonds in the microwave for 45 seconds then in my Mini Cuisinart Food Processor. Any-who, I let it go on for about 10 minutes and scraped the sides a couple of times. It got to the clumpy stage fairly quickly considering the smallness of my processor.

I gave the processor a little break as it was getting a bit warm. Once I started grinding it again — after 5 minutes it all of a sudden went from clumpy blobs to a really nice smooth cream and it was blending so nicely! After tasting it, I decided to add a little bit of brown sugar, a pinch of Honey Crystalsand a pinch of Sea Salt. December 22, at 6: What do you suggest eating it with?

I typically eat almond butter with ripe bananas— they are the exception to the fruit rule, and can be eaten with nuts, seeds and dried fruits. March 5, at For a delicious sandwich try: Kalamata olive bread,almond butter,apple wood smoked bacon, goat cheese, and apricot jam.

January 23, at 1: February 13, at 5: I LOVE putting almond butter in my oatmeal. It makes it so much better. It tastes amazing to put a spoonful of it in oatmeal- along with a spoonful of coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, agave syrup or raw honey and a dash of salt. March 14, at 9: January 3, at I tried this in a NutriBullet… was scary at first, but it turned out very good and in less time than I expected.

January 29, at 7: Tony, did you roast your almonds first and which blade did you use? February 13, at 3: I used the milling blade first to break it down but then the regular blade to whip it into butter. It was really fast, like just a few minutes. January 7, at January 12, at I used a KitchenAid food processor and briefly toasted almonds. I was worried my FP would overheat or die but it totally took it like a champ!!

January 17, at 8: I used the Ninja food processor. It took over an hour to make. In the end, it did come out, but there was no running it for minutes at a time. As soon as I would turn it on, the crushed almonds would stick to the sides immediately and stop moving, shredding or blending. I had to turn it off and on almost every minute and keep stirring. Towards the end, it started smoking. I was excited to make this, and was disappointed. My daughter loved the final product however. March 5, at 5: I too used the Ninja professional when I tried making this.

My almond stuff is in a bowl in the kitchen. I was trying to look up recipes with my failed attempt. But you said it finally worked?? March 12, at 1: March 15, at Thanks for this information. I am trying to use a Ninja Professional model to make almond butter and I was not sure if it was working properly. Most of the almond mixture seems to be on the sides and the motor is hot. This is my third time of letting the motor cool off.

But since it worked for you, I will keep trying…especially since I need it for a recipe that I have already started! January 20, at 1: I just stumbled upon this recipe and it worked great! So often there are only two photos, one showing all of the ingredients and one showing the finished product. I liked being able to have a visual on what almond butter should be looking like throughout the process.

January 20, at 4: January 21, at 9: I attempted to make almond butter with chocolate and carmel similar to Nutella. Starbucks has a cocoa with carmel packet which can be added to coffee.

I made the almond butter then when it was just about ready I added the Starbucks packet. Was hoping for a Snickers taste. The taste was there, but very faint. I am now thinking of added cocoa powder and carmel sauce at the end. What do you or your followers think? Not sure if I should add the carmel as a sauce or as nuggets and let the blender do its work on them.

I looked at the Nutella list of ingredients and they add skim milk. Should I try adding that as well? Anybody have any experience with what I am attempting that might have some helpful suggestions? Thank you for your site it has been a wonderful experience making the AB. January 24, at 4: I absolutely love how this almond butter tastes! Unfortunately though, mine seemed to come out extremely thin and almost runny. Is there a way to keep this from happening? January 24, at 6: January 26, at 4: Is it supposed to have a spicy kick aftertaste?

February 8, at 7: Maybe they were rancid? I always store my nuts in a deep freeze not a frost free freezer that is connected to your fridge I also store all my natural butters in the fridge. January 26, at Do you think the almond butter would be good in cakes or cookies? If so, can you think of a recipe? Loove homemade almond butter! Made in my Vitamix and was done in a couple of minutes!

January 30, at 7: I have made almond butter before, but not for a while. I Used your site to refresh my memory, thanks again for a great site. Do you have any recipes that almond butter can be used in? It made beautiful butter in no time. February 2, at February 7, at 7: Put it in my Cuisine Art food processor. In the beginning I had to knock down the crumbs on the sides about 5 times in 10 minutes, then I just let it run for another It clumped like when making a dough, then as it got hot and started steaming it melted into a nice smooth cream.

February 9, at I have a Breville food processor and although I had to stop it about 8 times to quickly scrape down the sides coconut oil tip duly noted! And it tastes great!

February 9, at 7: I make almond butter the same way, but I always sprout the almonds first. This provides so much more nutrition and is much more digestible. All you do is soak the almonds for 12 hours in salted water.

You will notice a teeny white bud appear on the pointy end. Rince, then dry on low heat in a dehydrator or oven for 12 hours. Are you an idiot? Or do you not know what pasteurization means? Anyway, I hope your shit works, because if I gotta go on another page to find out how to make almond butter, it would just take too much time out of my day.

When this law was passed intwo methods of pasteurization were suggested: February 11, at 9: You must be a very unhappy person with a miserable life. If you know everything, why look at these sites for information? February 11, at 5: I love crunchy almond butter. I like almond butter on brown rice cakes for breakfast. February 14, at 9: Just made this; absolutely divine! But well worth the effort.

February 17, at 6: Just made this this morning, and just as you say, after seemingly thinking nothing was going to happen, voila! Right after it turned to cream the blade stopped working, which was fortunate. I figured this would be a good way to use some of that up.

I probably had it running at too high of a speed though. I do have a Ninja system with a number of attachments. I finally made AB and it was awesome. Question…how long do you think this will keep? February 25, at 1: Needless to say my husband and I will never go back to eating that over processed stuff in the grocery store ever again.

Next time going to throw some cashews in as well hey why not. February 28, at I love this link — thanks for all the tips — but please can you advise me what food processor I should be using. I dont have a huge budget and live in the UK. March 1, at 4: March 3, at Most of the fat and flavor go into the almond milk, which is why almond pulp is so difficult to work with in recipes. Please let us know if you have any success, though! I finally gave up because nothing was happening and it started smoking.

I stopped it more than 10 times to scrap the sides down. I still have my almond stuff sitting in a bowl. I added coconut oil, but not to the sides of the processor. March 9, at 6: March 10, at 6: Thanks for the encouragement to make almond butter. What worked for me was to use an old-fashioned, hand-cranked inexpensive! One pass, and then into the food processor, which took less than two minutes to produce creamy almond butter.

March 10, at I tried making AB from almonds I had soaked in water. I got a fluffy mix after much effort, stopping, scraping, adding oil, hearing lots of terrible noise.

I finally stopped out of frustration. Do you think I did not process long enough probably 5 to 10 minutes or was it the soaking part? Yes, soaking the almonds will create a fluffy texture. Next time, make sure you dry your almonds completely before grinding them, as any extra moisture will affect the results. March 14, at 4: I made almond butter in the Majic Bullet. It only took about 5 minutes. March 16, at Just made this in a Cuisinart 9-cup food processor.

It did get hot, but not super-hot. Best of all, it turned out absolutely delicious. I just added a pinch of salt, no sweetener. Three cups of almonds weighed out to grams a smidge under 1 lb. March 19, at 6: Determined to do better, I bought raw organic almonds at the food coop, roasted them and followed your recipe. I used my food processor to turn them into butter and did the coconut oil trick. March 20, at 8: March 21, at Hi, I just made my first 2 batches of almond butter today and they turned out fabulous.

Thank you sooo much! I absolutely LOVE your website! March 22, at 2: March 28, at I keep mine in the fridge for about one month. The time may vary, but as long as it smells and tastes good, I keep using it. March 24, at 4: Thank you so much for specifically calling out just how long this takes. March 24, at Thx for this recipe. March 24, at 2: Can I use a blender instead? I apologize if that is a stupid question.

There are no stupid questions! March 29, at 7: March 24, at 3: Heya hi Love ur recipe Please guide Since i cant really find organic and m a little allergic to eating almonds with cover — at times they give me stomache So is it alright if i used almonds without their cover? March 25, at 8: Any tips on where to get a good deal on almonds other than Costco? Also what is a good deal per pound for almonds?

March 28, at 3: After over 20 minutes the almonds still looked very lumpy, I added oil and finally it was buttery smooth! About using the Vitamix, the smell. The Vitamix is so powerful, that prolonged use would require the use of ice cubes to cool down the mixture otherwise you are cooking the ingredients. The Vitamix will make a hot soup or a smoothie, depending on your desired results.

I will try your recipe with the Vitamix and homemade ice cubes filtered bottle water I love your Website, Thank you!! This is why I use a food processor instead of my Vitamix, to avoid using such a powerful motor. Well I read the other comments and see that others have added extra ingredients.

I think we all agree that you have a great recipe, but adding a few other ingredients will not ruin the batch. My intention was just to help others not burn out their machines, like some of them have.

The Vitamix is a very expensive machine and first learning how to use it is is crucial. Yes, you are welcome to add other ingredients, like salt, oil, or even honey at the end of blendingbut water in particular will ruin the texture almond butter and will make it very prone to mold— giving it a significantly shorter shelf life. March 28, at 7: This did not work 1 hour and still dry clay, i bought a hundred dollar cuisinart super pro food processor.

April 1, at A good place to get almonds inexpensively is the bulk foods dept. April 2, at 5: I soaked them overnight and put them in my dehydrator to dry. April 2, at 9: I used my vita mix to make almond butter.

Because of the fast motor, yes it did achieve a smooth consistency. So I transferred the dry mixture to a magic bullet. I decided to add a small amount of coconut oil.

After one half hour, I still had a very coarse mixture. I gave up and put it all in the jar which is fine because I use the butter in protein shakes. The clean up in my kitchen took as much time as making the almond butter. April 5, at 7: I made this all the time, and the only key to make it nicely smoth without adding any oils or moist to make it creamy is patiens!!!!! I like adding 1 tsp of coconut oil but after my butter is ready because I like the smell. April 5, at April 8, at April 5, at 4: I was wondering if it would take the load off the food processor if you grind them first or is most of the time after they become flour like?

April 7, at 6: April 6, at 2: Worked great for me in my food processor. I was scared at first that my motor would overheat but it was fine. It came out great. Thanks for the receipe. April 11, at 8: April 14, at I am thanking my lucky stars I just found your website!!

You have so many amazing ideas! I just made the almond butter in about half the time with organic sliced almonds!! It tastes just a delicious!!

April 14, at 3: I roasted the almonds for 15 minutes. I had smooth almond butter in a much shorter time in my Cuisinart, maybe ten minutes if that.

Very similar to making peanut butter. April 19, at I just found your website and wanted to say thanks. I needed a cup of almond butter and had no idea about it. April 19, at 2: April 22, at Knowing that I had to wait for the magic to happen was helpful. April 23, at 5: Just made this for the first time- THANK YOU for the heads up on the time it takes… the 12 minute mark and things really changed!

Super smooth and tasty. I used roasted almonds and added salt, nothing else. After 15 minutes it was like liquid silk. April 25, at 8: You can then achieve almond butter in a matter of minutes.

Occasionally I add a little good quality Maple Syrup and sometimes Manuka Honey as an immune system booster when anyone in the family has a cold or flu. April 27, at 7: Made the raw almond butter yesterday in my mini Cuisinart and it took probably 12 mins total to get the consistency that I like.

Just salt and raw almonds…. Today I decided to try some pecan butter and it took much less time. Love how easy this is!!! So much more economical! April 30, at 7: April 30, at 9: May 1, at 6: Is it compulsory to use a blender with a S blade?

Thanks so much for all those yummy recipes you share on your website. May 2, at May 2, at 1: May 2, at 7:
