six minutes is probably what you should expect. 14 more almond butter mistakes to avoid in the full blog post → bit.ly/2RYb1oB
That links to cauliflower fried rice. FYI.
Dear Lifei: 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.
Why do you need to roast the almonds? Other recipes don’t state to do that… Just curious.
If you put the cooked almonds on a new roomtemperature cookie sheet and then put the cold (not frozen) almonds into the 64 oz container and aggressively tamper while being on the ten setting it takes less than two minutes and turns out perfect. Be sure to use four cups of raw almonds to start.

I’ve always wanted to try almond butter, but never have. It’s kind of expensive and I am on a very limited budget because I live on nothing more than Social Security income. I have to go to the food pantry for food security…
They have never given me any almonds or peanuts, but they have given me a few bags of walnuts and pecans though. Do you think those would make decent nut butters or no? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone make nut butters with those types of nuts. I was randomly gifted a Vitamix last Christmas from my mother, so I would like to experiment with making a nut butter one of these days with it!
Tried it and seriously thought my Vitamix was about to explode, but it was fine and the almond butter turned out great!
Vitamix noise is so scarry to me
My Vitamix (Ascent 2500i) overheats and shuts down when I make nut butters. I have to wait about 20 minutes to continue. So whenever I want to make nut butters I have to make sure I'll be at home at least 2 hours. I get there in the end, but I just can't complete the whole blending in a single session.
@@Sylphadora hi. Do u have the Europe or USA model? The voltage is it 110v or 220v ? Thank u
@@akoj3262 I have the European version.
@@Sylphadora Thanks. I just placed an order for the European version too. Have you read through the manual? I heard somewhere about not using it for too long because of overheating.
Apparently EU version is different from USA version because of the safety requirements. This is why some of the containers in USA sites cannot be used for EU version. Thats what I was told when I enquired about purchasing USA containers. So I'm guessing maybe that's why some have issues with the usage and some don't ....
are you still facing the same issues now?
I already changed 3 containers. Vitamix said you can't make a butter running the machine for more than 1 min. otherwise the connector (I don't know how it calls) pops out from the bottom of the cup and it becomes wobbly.
from Haydee:
"Our repair technician received your machine for service and it is working on it right now. He called me to advised me why you are having the problem. You are making nut butters and you are running the machine too long. When processing nut butters you cannot run machine more than one minute. If you run machine too long the container gets very hot and it will start to melt causing the blade to melt into the container. "
@tequila_Shark I think this happened to me! Thank you!
I tried this yesterday. Toasted the 4 cups for 10minutes, let them cool, etc. But I started on speed 10 and it took exactly one minute and I got the most magical almond butter. Not runny but not too thick. Perfection!
Is the A3500i the most efficient/powerful model blender most suitable for smooth nut butter consistency macadamia/wallnuts? Or is there a better vitamix model o ly dedicated to nut butter?
Gosh mine took like 15 mins
Is it ok about the burning smell
I wonder what I did wrong, because I own an A3500, and mine turned out pretty badly.
I made it with my food processor. Took a little longer but came out beautiful and delicious!
the newer Vitamix blenders are probably quieter than my 7500, but I recommend wearing ear protection when making vitamix nut butters. It takes a while, is loud, and needs constant tampering! It’s so worth it but please keep your hearing!
That's a great point....I always wear ear protection when I'm making peanut or almond butter.....or if I'm making a soup or something where it runs for several minutes. I probably look a little silly....but it does get a little loud if you're standing right in front of it.
Thanks for showing every step including using a spatula, the grit, and cleanup smoothie.
Fantastic thanks. Will try tonight!
Love this recipe. Have made it several times! Not sure I would say I would NEVER buy store bought almond butter again though as Natural Grocers and Whole Foods make almond butter that is very similar to this. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for this video! I tried making almond butter today and it turned ut perfect! 😍
Hello! I’m new to your channel. Love this video and can’t wait to watch all your others and get caught up. I’ve never even had a blender before and I’m 65. I must have been living under a rock or something. Also have just started the WFPB lifestyle but with no oil, salt, nor sugar due to heart issues. After doing lots of research (including your channel) I went with a Vitamix re-conditioned Standard C series.
Thanks for all your fun and informative videos!!
Hi and welcome! Great pick! Excited for you!
@@LINY
Why do you need to roast the almonds? Other recipes don’t state to do that… Just curious.
Since I am very picky I decided to try the almonds in the 8oz container. It came out smo-o-o-o-oth as silk. That being said, I prefer the peanut butter I made. Thanks for a really straight forward video.
Great and easy recipe! Thanks so much
Excellent flow in explaining things during the video .
Glad it helped!
I've been eagerly waiting for this video 🙌
I'm currently waiting on my Vitamix a2300i to be delivered (hopefully tomorrow!) I cannot wait to start making amazing stuff in it! Your channel has been a huge help in taking the leap and I'm sure I won't be disappointed ♥️ I'm thrilled I managed to get a Vitamix all the way to my home in the beautiful Maltese islands and I hope I get many years of good use from it 💕🙌
heyhey! excited for you!
Me too, Robert. I just ordered my first blender EVER and so happy I was able to get a Vitamix. I’m anxious and nervous both! 😮🤗
@@Kathy_Is_Blessed YOU WILL LOVE IT!
I can report back and say that I am absolutely loving my Vitamix! It was an excellent decision to take the leap ❤️❤️
@@Kathy_Is_Blessed Good luck! You're gonna love it 💜
I've been making homemade almond butter in my Vitamix for about 15 years now, which I started doing because nobody was selling organic sprouted almond butter at the time, let alone even regular, non-organic almond butter. I used to have to buy organic almonds, sprout and dehydrate them, then blend them down in the Vitamix. We've come a long was since then, and now you can buy sprouted almonds, almond butter, organic sprouted almonds, organic almond butter, and even sprouted organic almond butter (which is the most difficult to find and quite expensive). Roasting the almonds first makes for the best flavor and texture, but I don't mind losing a little bit of that the way I make mine (if using sprouted almonds, it's best to go slow so it doesn't get too hot while blending them in the vitamix). Also, Vitamix's have come a long way since I bought mine in 2008!- nut butter and cleaning cycle settings?! Great video!
I needed this recipe and tried it and I love it! I wound up getting a1200 at myBloomingdale IL Costco awhile back and THEN I discovered your channel! Anyway I love the videos, your professional production and style. Stay warm in MN. Chicago misses you! I need my Chicago Diner fix soon! Be well!
Chicago diner is my favorite restaurant of all time. Thank you!!
Hey! Chicago kids represent 🤘 Hey Bloomingdale, Wheaton here 😊
Would this be faster with the food processor attachment? Thanks for all your content!
1 tip. To cool it faster. Keep another baking tray ready. Just shift them onto that tray and slide into the fridge.
I know I’m thinking ahead, but I plan on using my Vitamix to make my Christmas gifts this year 😇 A little bundle of homemade bread, home made jam, and homemade almond butter, made all cute and cozy!
We have a video for that! th-cam.com/video/cqNEYRLhfhM/w-d-xo.html
What a great idea! ♥️
Macadamia nuts are so beautiful done like this I think it’s nicer than any other ones I’ve ever made
I make almondbutter and add cardamom before blending. Try it. It's delicious! ❤
This made me go nuts.
How do you store your almond butter? Glass container in the frig or room temp? Can I make half the amount in my smaller vessel?
Do you wash the almond ? If so , how do you dry it?
I buy unsalted roasted almonds it's awesome 💜
i make mine usually between 1.5 to 2 mins.. I was scared at first but finally understood vitamix lol. I make it a point that it's not less than 4 cups.. the more the nuts, the better it blend.. and just blend it at max! works all the time.
the more the better, right?
Thanks !!
Hi there, thanks for this as I didn't realize I had to blend for this long.
Do you know if the A2500i will have the same results in nut butters?
Thanks, Abbe
Yes you can get that in the store
I was making hazelnut butter and viewed this just to see how long it takes in the vitamix. I have made it in a food processor before so giving the vitamix a try. It is SO much creamier in the vitamix I love it. I will make this almond butter as soon as I finish my hazelnut butter.
Wonderful!
what model of vitamix do you have ???
Is there a chance to over blend? It can become cooked? So the butter will get harder then it should?
Can I mix cashews with the almond and make butter thanks for your reply
Does your container lock in place? I have a 5300 and it does not lock in place, which is a little annoying for me because I have to fight it from jumping off the base when I use the tamper.
Thanks so very much!!!!
you're so very welcome
How do you adjust cooking time/temp for fewer almonds? I mistakenly bought a bag of raw almonds, and I just want to roast the rest after making one painful batch of unroasted almond butter. Thank you!
are you using a dry container or the regular one?
Could you let them sit on the cookie sheet or in a bowl overnight? Would that make any difference?
Have you tried Nuts To You Almond Butter or MaraNatha though. It's the best store bought brands that I have tried.
I've always put my nuts in the blender warm when I about to make any nut butters. It's easier that way because the oils are already warmed up so it cuts down the time to make the nut butter. Plus I sprout them first too. It taste even better that way. Trust me!
I put my nuts the blender with care, then I pulverize em real good like. Hurts like hell. 🫡
How do you sprout them? And do you warm the nuts after sprouting them?
I save those talenti jars too :) For mayo and hummus, but will also try a nut butter one of these days.
do it!
I make this once a month. It is amazing but there is a learning curve due to oven differences.
Here in Japan I use a convection oven that is small by American standards.
My oven temperature in selected by increments of 10, so I bake the almonds at 180 Celsius.
I bake them for exactly 14 minutes and remove the immediately to cool.
During processing I use 3 tablespoons of coconut oil to make the resulting almond butter smoother and more easily spreadable / less thick.
thanks for sharing, Ronald. Sounds yummy
Hi, I'm about to purchase my first Vitamix and I hope you can help me out with a couple of questions. Apart from the self clean program and the timer/remote touch screen feature thingy, (I actually prefer the 'old fashioned' button model on the A2500) what's the difference between between the A2550i and the A3500i. Apart from those 2 features, what can't the A2500 do that A3500 can? Thanks for your help. Abbe
I wish I could afford one of these blenders but I can't. Looks really useful.
How long will it keep in the fridge?
Thank you for sharing! I made some almond butter in my Vitamix, and it turned out great! The only difference is that I roasted some cocoa beans, I took half a tea spoon of brown sugar and crushed it to powder, and also added 100% vanilla extract to it, and it turned out delicious! I might try out making regular almond butter one day, but I think I'll be repeating that experimental recipe I decided to try once again once I finish it :)
which vitamix model did you use?
How smooth does it turn out? Is it like shop bought or grainer? I want to buy one but it's so expensive, I want to be sure :)
I just received my new Vitamix today sooooo freaking excited to start using it!!!
Vanessa, it's your best investment, I bought my Vitamix whole nutrition center, model 5000, in the year of 2000, I use it practically everyday, I looked very beautiful and younger than my age at 72 years, I don't even exercise. Way to go girl. Blessings
I bought mine at Costco for $100 off
Not sure what happened, but mine turned into a hot mess, literally. It never creamed. It smelled like partially cooked almond flour, and was very hot. Followed the recipe as stated. In looking at the almond packaging, they are not raw, they are slightly pasteurized. Could this be a factor? So bummed.
Thanks for your informative videos. I have a question though. I am .planning to get A2500. Do I need to purchase any other container for making nut butters or I can make it in the original container? Thx
you can make 4-cup batches of nut butters in the low-profile 64-oz container that it comes with lifeisnoyoke.com/vitamix-containers/#secondary-container
You can just buy food processor attachment , it would make this video looks over compacting stuff, it is just shoving you almonds and leave it and every minute or or so push the almonds for the edges, and 5-6 minutes and it would be completely the same quality as this one.
I used a food processor added a pinch of salt and about a tablespoon of honey it took about 10 minutes and turned out perfect…put the nuts in the blender while they are still warm it releases the oil better
At what point should I add vanilla extract and dates if I want that flavor??
No soaking or removing the skins? And why do you cook them? As cooking depleats the nutients?
Messed two jars trying to do so with my Vitamix, gets hot then the seal shrink i think then when you put liquid it leaks through the bottom where the adapter is. Is there anything i can do to not mess my jars ok they send jars back but not really Eco friendly.
I started with roasted almonds... It literally took me longer to clean the pitcher after than making the almond butter. Unbelievable. Best protein shake of my life with the remnants of the almond butter. WOOOO! Mine was also very fast to make and I started with roasted almonds. I have the 7500.
I saw where Vitamix recommends cleaning sticky stuff using two cup of distilled white vinegar and one cup of warm water~~just fyi in case someone else sees this!
Looks like you either got a new 64 oz container or you cleaned it up really well! :) Great vid. Can't wait to try!
Great eye. I actually can't remember which. That day we shot "cleaning a cloudy Vitamix container" so we had both a new one and a freshly cleaned one. Tutorial coming soon!
best way I've discovered is to pop it into the dishwasher, it comes out as brand new every time only 1 thing to note here take it out as soon as cycle is finished
Thank you for this!! I just made it in my Vitamix- and I totally thought it was going to overheat, but it turned out great! Just curious- I see so many other videos on TH-cam where people are making Almond Butter in a Vitamix in 1-2 minutes. Do you know how they're able to do this? It seems like their methods are the same- roasting the raw almonds, letting them cool beforehand, but my Vitamix definitely needed about 8-9 minutes of blend time on high. There was no way it would have been done in a minute or two. Have you ever been able to make the almond butter without blending so long?
I have E310 and I made this in 1 minute tops. In fact even the method in this video is wrong. I prefer not to poke around with the tamper and quickly you’ll see the nuts will start to become creamy and create that vortex effect like you’re making a smoothie. And with that affect, you’ll have a nut butter in 1 to 2 minutes at max depending on how much nut you put. I tried it with 550 grams of cashews and it only took around 60 to 70 seconds. I’m talking about silky smooth, almost watery like nut butter, not chunky. I only used the tamper in the first few seconds and that was to clean the sides where nuts stuck. I didn’t push down in the center.
If, however, you’re poking around with the tamper, you’re not giving it the chance to create the vortex effect. That way it’ll take longer.
@@TolgahanBozkurt I have an E310 as well but mine took much longer too. Did you add oil? It seems adding oil would result in a much faster nut butter. But I just wanted to use almonds.
@@AC_2.4-10 Yes I did add some oil to make it easier.
They add oil but don't always show that step. They cut the clip to make it seem shorter. This video is a more honest representation of the process.
When you say go to 10, is that the same as high-speed on the classic?
the very same :)
I just have the nearest Vitamix containers, is it ok to do nut butter with that too?
yep!
how does it stay fresh in the fridge for? im going to make whole made crunchy peanut butter.
a week 👍
If you leave almonds hot then they will release oils with ease and time decrease to 2 minutes. So putting them into oven is step to make them hot to make almond butter easy.
Great video new subscriber
Awesome thank you!
Please can u show me the kind of blender you using ? I would love to buy one
A3500! lifeisnoyoke.com/out/vitamix/a3500-bsf
Question, looks like you have the preset, but she is cranking the variable wheel instead. What do you prefer? Do you tend to not use the presets?
Really depends. It's probably more helpful for everyone to see us using variable speed in the video, because that's what most have.
I made macadamia nut butter in my vitamix recently... HOLY CRAPSTICKS it was incredible!
Holy macbutt Batman! 😄
@@LINY I just wish macadamias weren't so expensive to buy!
@@ArtByEmilyHare Considering how energy-dense they are that might be a blessing in disguise ;)
@@pixeltrance right? I mean it would be nice to live somewhere where they are grown, but no such luck! I haven't made it since I made this post haha... too expensive!
What model vitamix did u use?
my Vitamix stalls ridiculously! i have a similar if not the same one as you, i struggle even making hummus, not sure why
How well would this work out if I try this in a “wet” container? Specifically the wet container on an Explorian E320?
Just fine! Nut butters are best in a non-dry container!
Life is NOYOKE Excellent, thanks very much! Love the content
I am going to try. I have a big bag of organic almonds. Why do you have to toast them first?
Roasting helps emit oils which makes blending doable without adding oil
Can such almond butter be made in the E-310 blender? How much (the least) you need to add almonds at one time.
Vitamix said for a 48 oz container, 2 cups minimum and 3 cups maximum.
My vitamix 7500 series was just delivered!! I can’t wait to make almond butter! Do you refrigerate after making it? New sub by the way 🙂❤️
yes, we refrigerate it! :) good luck! remember high speed! :)
@@LINY Ok, thank you!! 😊
What I want to know is how long will this last in a closed jar? Should it be stored in the fridg?
Definitely refrigerate! And they should be good for two weeks at least! :)
@@LINY My last batch I did not refrigerate and they lasted several weeks, maybe between 1-2 months in fact. It wasn't super creamy though, thinking I didn't blend them long enough. I'm on my second batch tonight, will blend longer and try the refrigerator this time.
This is one of the best how-to videos I’ve ever seen. The b-roll, the narration, the vocal variety… Spot on!
BTW - How are people getting the nut butter creamy in only 1 minute, as opposed to 9 minutes?
Thanks! And good question - hard to say
You say this is RAW and you baked the almonds! :-) Also slightly warm almonds grind Much Better than room temperature or cold. Also the Vitamix Scraper Accessory is Essential for Scraping out the nut butter without ruining other rubber or silicone scrapers which don't work well and get damaged. I CELEBRATE whomever designed that scraper because it saves a lot of frustration getting your nut butter out!!
I've been using Vitamix for over 20 years. I got a lot of roasted almonds so I thought I would try. Never again. I thought I was going to ruin my machine and it turned out . . . not very good. I finished up as best I could with my cheap food processor. I also have to say that what you show in the Vitamix does not look the same as what you were spreading on the bread.
Tried to make a small portion - only 300 grams. Did not work well. I followed all the other instructions. Apparently the low weight was not enough to push the almonds down to the knives although i used the plunger. After some 15 minutes I got a paste but quite grainy.
By the way the Vitamix book tells you to add oil - it is not my intention to add extra calories to the already quite fatty butter.
How to store? In fridge or on shelf? How long does it last?
On shelf: around a week
Fridge: A month
If possible u can send me a picture of the blender so that I can buy similar one from China, I'm a Ghanaian and I love watching ur show , I'm residing in China
I tried this and my vitamix got hot and Smokey inside. Idk if this is normal. So I stopped and they almonds look like dough not creamy.
Can you over-blend?? My almond butter wasn't as liquid as yours so I kept blending and it started coming out of the bottom! I didn't realize this until it was quite the mess. It was all over my landing pad and took forever to clean the bottom as so much got stuck between the black piece and underside of the bottom of the container. Praise God I didn't give up and got it clean (I know you're not supposed to take that piece apart, and I didn't), but also praise God for Vitamix customer service! She suggested next time to do 3 cups instead of 4 (I have a 48 oz container and Vitamix previously told me min 2 cups, max 4 cups). I did everything else exactly as you guys shared in your video. It never overheated either. And very strange, but it got more liquid after sitting a little while. What did I do?! 😆 I just read through several comments, and it sounds like it still got too hot and melted the seal?? I want to keep making almond butter and not be afraid of using my Vitamix! I read perhaps just running it for 1 minute at a time? How long do I wait in between minutes of blending? Love your channel - thank you!
When making peanut butter can i just use the cheap salted peanuts?
For sure you can
How does it taste is it sweet or just nutty ? Really interested in making this as ordering mine soon on Monday coming as after that it's paying debts off
Also is this in the wet/normal container ?
like fresh almond butter :)
yup
Can you make almond butter in the small 8 ounce cups? I just got mine and it was an epic fail as there was no way to push the nuts around. I got finely ground nuts but not creamy enough for nut butter.
you cannot for the reasons you mention. :(
@@LINY Thank you for replying, much appreciated. Guess I will have to make a bigger batch!
Will it work it no oil and raw almonds?
No baking?
really, really tough with raw almonds, no baking and no oil. really really tough. i've never seen it done
Can peanut butter be made the same way?
Fo sho! It's actually much easier than almond butter
If you don’t feel like using a pan and over you can also just pop your almonds in the air fryer
I am starting to make homemade almond milk...and almond butter eventually. Can you tell me how
to soak raw almonds (about one cup) and how much water and salt to use. Hope my 2011 Vitamin 5200 can do it, never failed me yet!
I soak mine overnight. Then dump the soaking water and rinse the almond. After soaking, put the cup of nuts in the blender with the desired amount of water - I use 4 cups of water to one cup of nuts. You can vary the ratio of water to nuts to get the level of creaminess you want. Some people do 2 cups of water to one cup of nuts for a creamier consistency. Some people do 6:1 to make it more economical but I find that a little watery. 6:1 think skim milk, 4:1 think whole milk and 2:1 like half and half!
thanks for this marcie!
I put 2 cups blanched Almonds in the Vita-mix and run it for more than ten minutes and I ended up with a dry paste. I even added 1 table spoon of Avocado oil and still the same. What am doing wrong?
They need to be roasted 😊
I made this on Sunday but my blender overheated. I have a 3300 model and got an error message. After googling it, I realized it was the failsafe. Sucks, but oh well. I think I may have been running it on too low of a speed, which made the motor work harder than it needed to. I should have ran it at a low speed for a few moments and then cranked it up to 10 for the rest of the time.
Yes mine too
We figured out the big difference between homemade and store-bought (often creamier). Both are 100% almonds. But only one is 100% *of* the almonds.
Very smart mate
Haha
I honestly ment you are very smart working that out man
thanks for the tips!! when you blended 4 cups of almond how much did you get them from?
sorry, not sure i understand the question?
@@LINY how much almond butter did you get from 4 cups of roasted almonds ?:)
Can it be done on the dry cup?
Sure
Is it normal for it to get super hot and take forever? I cooled my roasted almonds overnight. I put my machine on the nut butter setting over and over and over again... it’s still kinda pasty
Mine got more liquid after sitting a little while. Very strange! Tastes delicious though!
So it’s ok for it to heat up, right?! It gets pretty hot
Just tried this with peanuts and it’s not fully ground but my brand new top of the line vitamix is smoking up thru the canister and canister is hot. I started with 3cup is this not enough for the process?
container will get hot. Are you using the highest speed and using the tamper?
@@LINY yes, I transferred it to my food processor and added the rest of the dates/water I was using and it turned out perfectly. Aside from he fact the nuts were a little stale. I guess I was concerned that I needed to use more nuts than be able to get everything pushed down. Thanks for this recipe video!
Question 🙋🏻♀️ first liquids, then fruities/vegetables, THEN ICE… The order in my booklet is reversed 🫤 is it different for the Ascend a3500i?
SOLVED… it’s the order for the small containers 😅 🫙 (obviously, cause you reverse them too 🤦🏻♀️).
Yes!
You reverse it in the small containers because you load upside down 👍
It's sad I tried making almond butter three times in my vitamin x I used the tool it came with and all I made was almond dust it never turned in to butter I did roast them I did not want to add any oil but I was pretty pissed off I spent over $500 on my blender and that was one of the main purposes for buying it so I make it in my high power food processor it gets the job done but I was very disappointed I will try step by step what you do to see if I have better results
What model do you have?
@@karenrobertson1325 the A2500
I wonder how many vitamix blenders overheat because if this method and throw an error code.
me too
Your link following where it says The ultimate guide to nut butters takes you to cauliflower recipe
Thanks so much for pointing this out Christina that helps a ton!
Fixed now :)
I love that you don't get any insects in the almond butter unlike the store-bought stuff the FDA allows for a certain amount of insects per batch of peanut butter. This way you know you're not getting any extra protein that you don't want in there. 🤟
Holly, that's a scary thought! Never would imagine it happens!
first time thinking about this possibility. crazy
@@ludmilaandr8793 Then let me tell you what is in sugar.. Everything that was in the cane field when they harvested. So that's rats, birds, snakes (including deadly taipans), and so on, depending where the cane field is. I live near a sugar mill in Queensland Australia, and I've seen the dead animals among the cane awaiting processing.
but when you cook the almonds doesnt that kill the vitamins ?
maybe
Thanks for the video! I have the vitamix e310 and I’m a bit scared because of the steam that’s comes out while blending them, I’m using almost raw almonds and I left them in water one night before roasting them, but they didn’t really get roasted after 10min in the oven 🤔
try roasting another 10, especially if they've been soaking in water
