Experimenting With The Krocks: Almond Butter Edition (One Ingredient Vitamix Recipe)

We've been wanting to make our own almond butter for a while, so we decided to test it out on camera! Read our blog post for more info, photos & links to products used in this video: http://bit.ly/KrockAlmond When we bought a Vitamix last year, I was really excited to try making my own nut butters at home. We usually buy raw, unsalted almonds, so I was hoping to just dump the entire 16oz bag into my Vitamix and blend! However… I started looking up recipes online, and I realized it wasn’t quite THAT simple if you are wanting to use raw almonds. From what I read, if you try to blend together JUST the raw almonds, it will form more of a paste than a butter. In order to get a smooth, creamy butter, you either have to add a bit of oil OR roast the almonds to help release some of the natural oil in the nuts. That oil helps everything blend together nicely. Since we avoid any added oils, we decided to give them a quick roast. Watch to see how it worked out!
