Category: Something to Eat - Time to put your peanut butter in the bin! This nut butter is heavenly.
I don't want to get started on the shocking ingredients in peanut butter. Peanuts are one of the most sprayed and toxic nuts you can consume and it's safe to say is a product I avoid 100% with my kids. Making your own nut butters is incredibly easy, delicious and nutrient rich.
We use it on crackers, in smoothies even as a dip for veggies. Once you have made your own home made nut butter you will never look back!
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls of organic almonds
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract (not vanilla essence - that stuff is nasty!)
- pinch of himalayan sea salt
- dash of organic coconut oil for tray
Directions
- Heat oven to 180 degrees and once hot place almonds on tray that has been covered with a little coconut oil
- roast for 8 - 10 minutes until golden then sprinkle with himalayan sea salt
- Combine all ingredients and Blend Baby Blend. You will need a very high powered blender or thermomix. I blend for around 5 minutes until it turns into a warm gooey butter. This can then be kept in a glass container in the fridge and it keeps for many weeks as the salt acts as a preservative
- Try not to eat all in one sitting. This is seriously more-ish.
