I remember commenting the first time I saw you using that tamper. I cautioned you about sticking things in a blender! Lol, Now I own a Vitamix ,and love it! ❤️ Thank you for the lovely recipes.
Hey people, Make Sunflower Seed butter, It's just as easy, and great for a sandwich, or on any fruits or vegetables you like. As well as almond butter.😊
I stopped buying nut butters, over priced and sometimes wasteful as it is too large and it dries out. Making your own you can at least make the quantity you want and need. I've done hazelnut butter or pistachio nut butters.
Hi Petra, I’ve read in a few articles, can’t remember where, that roasting nuts makes them unhealthy by changing their molecules or something like that. Do you know anything about it?
Yes! Almonds contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (and a small percentage of saturated fats). Monounsaturated fats are not affected by roasting, but polyunsaturated fats are. Polyunsaturated fats are vulnerable to oxidization, which is why I never roast nuts above 325 F. The ideal roasting temperature is between 290 F and 325 F where nutrient loss is kept to a minimum and healthy fats are unharmed.
Nice, it's amazing how the hard almonds can turn into a creamy "butter" thanks to the natural fat/oils! Given the better omega 3/6 ratio in walnuts, have you ever made Walnut butter?
Sì, ho provato con un normale frullatore o robot da cucina, ci vuole solo più tempo. Mi fermavo ogni pochi minuti e pulivo i lati della ciotola, quindi la riaccendevo. Io preparo il burro di nocciole allo stesso modo
Thank you for this! Are you using raw almonds or are they somewhat processed already? The Costco (Kirkland) brand says their almonds are ‘steam pasteurized’. Would those be suitable for using in your recipe?
Thank you for the video. Do you think this would be challenging to make in my nutribullet? I imagine having to scrape the sides with a spatula repeatedly
Yes, but you do have to be careful not to use nuts that are too hot. If the almonds are too hot, they will melt the Vitamix container. This is not an issue when making hot soup in which the water prevents the blend from going above 212°F/100°C. But nuts are dry and with enough friction of the blade, they can go above 250°F/121°C where the container starts to melt.
You can find all the instructions for storing homemade almond butter on my blog (in the recipe card). Here's what it says: "Leftover almond butter keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. For longer-term storage, freeze for up to 6 months."
Hmm, I can't speak for Bosch. Vitamix blades are dull to begin with. Vitamix doesn't rely on sharp blades to crush ingredients but rather a powerful motor and a unique vortex action. In other words, you get the same results from the first to the thousandth blend.
Thanks for your videos, I really appreciate you! I have heard that soaking nuts over night in pour water breaks down enzyme inhibitors in the nuts, so that they're easily digestible .
Hi Teresa - yes! Raw nuts and seeds contain phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which are hard on the digestive system. Soaking breaks down these inhibitors to a good degree and unlocks and activates the nutrients within the nuts and seeds. I soak all my nuts and seeds (with the exception of a few) as soon as I get them from the store and then dehydrate them and store them in the freezer.
I soak my nuts first (all nuts and seeds) to remove phytic acid, lectins and heavy metals, and then dry them for 2 days. I never roast them. Can't you make butters with raw nuts?
It's definitely trickier, but you can. Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan and stir the nuts frequently to make sure they're evenly roasted. Watch that they don't burn on any hotspots.
Ok! 😅 I still pay less for the nuts to you brand almond butter?? Doing it from scratch will mean I will still have to pay more almond and get less butter from it. I still spend less
You can use raw sprouted nuts instead. However, if you're not roasting them, you'll need to use a little bit of neutral oil to make the almond butter completely smooth.
So glad I saw this! I just paid $10 for a 12oz jar!! Gonna make my own from now on. Thank you
Thank you for mentioning the Length of time!
Wow! Thank you so much for this informative video 😊
Thank you so much for watching!
Would it be better to soak the almonds, allow the peel to come off and then roast and then puree them?
I remember commenting the first time I saw you using that tamper. I cautioned you about sticking things in a blender! Lol, Now I own a Vitamix ,and love it! ❤️ Thank you for the lovely recipes.
Lol, yes, Vitamix is a gamechanger for sure!
😆 I guess you realized that the tamper can only go so far into the blender because of the stop guard or whatever it's called. 😄
Hi, thank you for this quick and easy recipe 🥰😊🥰
You're very welcome. Jo :)
Hey what do you think about the heat production in the blender?
Hey people,
Make Sunflower Seed butter, It's just as easy, and great for a sandwich, or on any fruits or vegetables you like. As well as almond butter.😊
Yes, definitely! I love sunflower seed butter!
Awesome job thank you so much 💓
Thank you so much for the kind comment :)
I stopped buying nut butters, over priced and sometimes wasteful as it is too large and it dries out. Making your own you can at least make the quantity you want and need. I've done hazelnut butter or pistachio nut butters.
Agreed!
And it's too much sugar in them. It's the only reason it's not healthy.
Over priced for a reason. You don’t know what goes into making sure almonds are grown. And then grinding turning them into butter.

Hi Bryant - yes, I have! Walnut butter is actually easier to make because walnuts are a soft nut whereas almonds are a hard nut :)
@@NutritionRefined Awesome! Yeah that's what I was thinking as well, which do you prefer?
@@bryant475 If I had to choose between almond butter and walnut butter, I would choose almond butter. Walnut butter can be a bit bitter.
You can over consume walnuts quickly. Look it up. Try to stick with 5 or 6 walnuts per day.
Thanks for talking and explaining instead of just showing 🙂😊☺
Does it need to be refrigerated after?
Grazie di cuore, si può fare anche con un frullatore normale? cioè non tanto potente come il suo del video? Grazie ancora.🌹
Sì, ho provato con un normale frullatore o robot da cucina, ci vuole solo più tempo. Mi fermavo ogni pochi minuti e pulivo i lati della ciotola, quindi la riaccendevo. Io preparo il burro di nocciole allo stesso modo
Hi Petra! What speed do you use? Thanks
Hi Maja - I start on the lowest speed and quickly increase to the highest speed.
Hi,which brand your machine is?my trials always failure.you need a good machine l think
Yes, definitely. I have a link to the blender in the description box below the video. It is a Vitamix :)
can this be made in any regular blender?
Honestly, I don't think it would work in a regular blender.
I love almond butter it tastes like cookie dough to me 🤤🤤😋
I LOVE almond butter too! I could eat the whole jar in one sitting ...
Thank you for this! Are you using raw almonds or are they somewhat processed already? The Costco (Kirkland) brand says their almonds are ‘steam pasteurized’. Would those be suitable for using in your recipe?
Yes! Most commercially available conventional almonds are pasteurized and you can definitely use those. Just make sure you roast them for the recipe.
thanks! @@NutritionRefined
If I buy toasted almonds will the result be similar?
Thank you for the video. Do you think this would be challenging to make in my nutribullet? I imagine having to scrape the sides with a spatula repeatedly
You can make it in a nutribullet, but it will take forever
Very smooth
My guess is that this will work faster and better with the almonds still warm from roasting.
Nice video, we will try this soon.
Yes, but you do have to be careful not to use nuts that are too hot. If the almonds are too hot, they will melt the Vitamix container. This is not an issue when making hot soup in which the water prevents the blend from going above 212°F/100°C. But nuts are dry and with enough friction of the blade, they can go above 250°F/121°C where the container starts to melt.
Handy Tip: if using a Vitamix, use ear plugs.
How long does this last for?

which vitamix model is that ?
I used to grind and package this stuff in closed off room at a natural foods store... bad idea...... what? I had to make sure it tasted good... 😋
Did you you a blender or food processor
I used a Vitamix blender.
almond blended went into find powdered instead of butter using a Ninja blender. Help
Is it safe to use almond with skin? I read in my Bosch food processor manual that almond skins can dull the blade
Hmm, I can't speak for Bosch. Vitamix blades are dull to begin with. Vitamix doesn't rely on sharp blades to crush ingredients but rather a powerful motor and a unique vortex action. In other words, you get the same results from the first to the thousandth blend.

Thank u!!
Thank you so much for watching :)
if i were to make raw one shall i soak them first? :)
Hi Karolina - you could, but you would also need to dehydrate them afterwards. The almonds have to be completely dry for the "recipe" to work.
I soak my nuts first (all nuts and seeds) to remove phytic acid, lectins and heavy metals, and then dry them for 2 days. I never roast them. Can't you make butters with raw nuts?
C votre robot qui est bien. C quoi comme marque svp? Merci
Il est dans la description de la vidéo
C'est un vitamix
Can you roast the on stove top my oven is out of commission
It's definitely trickier, but you can. Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan and stir the nuts frequently to make sure they're evenly roasted. Watch that they don't burn on any hotspots.
I always have an impossible time getting almond butter creamy in my food processor.
Walnuts work much better for me.
You roast almonds because if you don't they are poisonous. That is probably more important than making the nut butter process easier.
A melanger is much better. Twin stones. Welcome to anyone searching for a nutgrinder machine! Took me 3 days of reseaech!
the main point is you should use a really powerful blender. I broke away my 2 blenders already while trying making almond butter . Hahaha)
Yea, I could see that. If you don't have a high-speed blender, a food processor would be a better option.
Greatest nut butter
The hardest part is to clean the blender after making the butter
I make some almond milk by blending some water with the left overs. There are still bits and bobs left to clean manually but it’s much easier.
I always make a smoothie right after ;)
@@NutritionRefined 👌🏻❤️
It takes me 50 minutes
I've followed this to T. So far, 30 mins and still crumbly
Did you use a Vitamix blender?
Ok! 😅 I still pay less for the nuts to you brand almond butter?? Doing it from scratch will mean I will still have to pay more almond and get less butter from it. I still spend less
Depends where you buy your almonds. I buy them in bulk, so making almond butter at home ends up being cheaper for me than buying it in the store.
delicious but way too taxing on the body
You can use raw sprouted nuts instead. However, if you're not roasting them, you'll need to use a little bit of neutral oil to make the almond butter completely smooth.
make raw almond butter.
50 seconds..??, my ass 😂
And cut frame...it's smooth!
Hi
Can I roast them in a pan on stove? I mean dry roast?
I don't have an oven.
Can I grind them in stick blender?
Plz reply
