This recipe was adapted from a recipe on one of my favorite blogs, Chocolate Covered Katie.* Almond butter is so expensive. Plus, why buy something that is pre-packaged and processed when you can make it easily in the comfort of your own kitchen? I've already received rave reviews from one of my more discriminating eaters. We will be using this on rice cakes, bananas, whole grain bread, or maybe even straight out of the jar!
Ingredients
2 cups whole almonds
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup almond milk
1 t pure vanilla extract
Directions
In a high-powered blender, process almonds until crumbly. Add cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Process 30 seconds and stir if butter becomes too thick. Process another 30-60 seconds. Remove from blender using a spatula to scrape out all the creamy goodness! Refrigerate in a sealed container. Warning: This substance may be slightly addictive.
