Nut butter was one of my main reasons for buying a Vitamix. And I got very frustrated! Making nut butter just didn't work without adding large amounts of oil, which I did not want. I saw so many videos and recipes for Vitamix nut butters that did not talk about optimal nut amount or the need of roasting them so I even went as far as getting my Vitamix replaced thinking i had a defective device. Then I tried it following your instructions, and I almost immediately had perfectly smooth almond butter!
Thank you for this video. I have been making almond butter in a Cuisinart for over 12 years and finding it a tedious, time-consuming, messy business which I dreaded....so I invested in a Vitamix. My first two attempts at almond butter in the Vitamix were catastrophic. I thought I'd made a very expensive Vitamix mistake until I happened upon your video. I saw immediately all my mistakes. Voila, perfect almond butter in about two minutes flat! THANK YOU.
I made almond butter before I watched this. It turned out okay, but not very creamy. Wish I'd watched this one first. This guy has some experience and evidently has made the mistakes (and knows what each does to the butter and the process of making it). I looked at several other videos within the last 15 minutes, and this video is the best. My mistakes were 1) adding a little honey and oil before blending the nuts, 2) not using the tamper while blending, and 3) adding water when the butter was clumping. It still turned out pretty good, but next time I will do it this way. I've bookmarked this. I hope people who attempt to make this using the other videos I watched, will find this one and do it right.
Ever since I got the newer Vitamix with the shorter but wider container, I have not been able to successfully make Almond Butter. I just tried a few minutes ago. I bought a bag of whole almonds from Costco. Measured 4 cups of nuts into container. Started it at 1 and ramped up to 10 in 5-10 seconds. The tamper was just barely touching the conglomerate but I was able to push it around a bit on the edges, I added 1/4 cup of Canola Oil. After about 1 minute the almonds had all been pulverized but I ended up with a dry, playdough like mess. The almond paste got very hot and after 3-4 minutes I considered it a failed attempt. I can still use that to add to smoothies, but it certainly bears no resemblance to smooth creamy almond butter as you show in your video.
Thank you SO much for this video. I used raw nuts and got nowhere. LOL I am going to go roast some now and use the almond meal in smoothies instead of trying to salvage it.
The best detailed video on how to make almond butter. At the end when you said, “The remaining almond butter that’s left in blender, I can make a smoothie. I know it can be a little challenging getting all the butter out. Why not make smoothie? Great video. Thank you. Question. I have a 64 ounce. Is that S-series?
The trick seems to roast your almonds first (let cool completely) and use enough almonds depending on container size. I’ve tried this, but without roasting my almonds and perhaps not using enough of them…
Dear Joy: Would it be possible to buy almond meal (pre-grounded) rather than chop whole almonds in a blender/processor? At least, one would get a head start.
I actually needed raw almonds…don’t want to destroy some of the nutrients with heat…the result was very thick and it’s not quite a butter 😞 I will try and tamper it for 5 mor min
hi, i am using a Vita-prep 3 blender. which series S/G/C does it fall under? 🙏🏻 appreciate if you can reply. really looking forward to trying out your tips!
I don’t know why my blender gets super hot when I try to make almond butter, it also takes a very long time to reach the smooth consistency :/ I let my almonds cool for like two hours before blending them.
These are not soaked. If you soak them, make sure they are completely dried/dehydrated before trying to make nut butter. If you use non-roasted almonds, the easiest way is to add some oil. It is possible to blend non-roasted almonds without oil, but it will be more difficult and take a long time.

Well you roast the nuts you kill the value of the nut. What would be the sense. I have a vitamix and it just makes no sense at all. Stuck wanting raw nut butter
My first vitamix I had that problem the first time I tried almond butter but my nuts weren't roasted enough. Try peanuts first because no oil or roasting needed.

never watched a more perfect video in my life
What about the Venturist V1200 How many cups do I need?

What an excellent demo! Precise technique. Soothing voice. Concise content. No music!!!
Very nicely done, and so useful. Thank you very much!
Awesome video! Short, to the point, with a lot of helpful tips. Thank you!

Were the almonds roasted?
My blender gets super hot too :(

WOW 😯BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO on how to PROPERLY make ALMOND BUTTER !!!!SUBSCRIBED !!!! WOW 😯 again !
FYI if you make this often ( 5-6 a year or more ) you will get batches of nuts that require added Almond Oil. That's expected ☆
Michael Putnam what is the price
It’s the perfect video! thank you very much, short yet very informative
I'm so hungry.. i just wanna eat from the spatula at the end

What an excellent video. Thank you.
The bonus tip at the end :o
I have 5200 Vitamix with a regular container. I m not able to make it smooth and creamy. I tried it was like very solid consistency
mine too!! I dont know why!
I have an A2500 with the 64oz container. I notice in the video it doesn't show quantities for the A series. Do you know what it should be?
Good tip the one with spatula!
I actually needed raw almonds…don’t want to destroy some of the nutrients with heat…the result was very thick and it’s not quite a butter 😞 I will try and tamper it for 5 mor min
Just dat the almonds raw and get all the nutrition
Great tips!
hi, i am using a Vita-prep 3 blender. which series S/G/C does it fall under? 🙏🏻 appreciate if you can reply. really looking forward to trying out your tips!
Thank you
Great info, Thanks
Whether the same rules for making hazelnut butter?
Thank you
I don’t know why my blender gets super hot when I try to make almond butter, it also takes a very long time to reach the smooth consistency :/
I let my almonds cool for like two hours before blending them.
It’s normal for the machine and nut butter to heat up quickly. You’ve got to really get busy with the tamper to make it quickly.
I did this exactly like you did, and my stayed a thick paste and would not get creamy. What the heck.
Maybe your almonds were less roasted? You can add some oil if it doesn't get creamy.
what type of oil?
@@lexliv7779 whatever kind you want. Derr.
mine too!!!
Can i make almond butter using the regualr 64 oz container or do i need to use the dry container?
You can make it in the regular container, and it actually works better with the wet blades than with the dry blades.
What about the ascent blender? Which series is that apart of?
I am wondering the same. I have an ascent as well.
@@27Marlo follow the g series recipe
I want this machine omg i loveded
QA: Better to buy ground almonds pre-packaged. One pound is a *large* pound!
One pound of ordinary almonds will grind to much less mass.
Do we use a nut jar or just the smoothie jar will do?
Big like THUMBS UP!!! HUGE LIKE!!!
did you turn on the pulse key ?
Do you soak them?
Have you tried to do a nut butter with non roasted almonds?
These are not soaked. If you soak them, make sure they are completely dried/dehydrated before trying to make nut butter. If you use non-roasted almonds, the easiest way is to add some oil. It is possible to blend non-roasted almonds without oil, but it will be more difficult and take a long time.
I tried an hour ago to blend non-roasted (after I soaked and dried without a dehydrated) but I did not managed. :(
Did you try adding oil?

@@efraim. If you can risk your oven and apartment -- go ahead and roast. May as well.
At what temperature and for how long do you roast the almonds?????
10 minutes at 350 degrees. I keep reading that over and over.
@@papatutti59 thank you!!!!

Badam butter
نفسى ف فيديو يكون عربى 😥
How long does it last?
I keep it for a few weeks in the fridge, though it could probably last longer.
How long to roast soaked raw almonds?
Mine did NOT look like that it’s just meal. Rubbish
Vitamix do not overheat.
but it looks like poop.
My vita-mix instantly starts to heat up when I make nut butters and the motor emits a smell like it’s burning. I wouldn’t buy the vita-mix again.
Most people haven't had that issue, including myself. Vitamix is the very best on the market.
My first vitamix I had that problem the first time I tried almond butter but my nuts weren't roasted enough. Try peanuts first because no oil or roasting needed.
What is the exact model that you have?
