Almond Nut Butter

Prepare the Almonds:

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the almonds with maple syrup until evenly coated.
  • Spread the almond mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast the Almonds:

  • Bake the almonds for 15 minutes, then stir to ensure even roasting.
  • Return the almonds to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely.

Process into Butter:

  • Add the cooled almonds to a food processor and process until a ball forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed (this may take up to 10 minutes).
  • Add cinnamon and vanilla extract, then process again until smooth and drippy.
  • Toward the end of the process, add the chocolate and blend for 1 minute, or until fully melted and incorporated.

Serve and Store:

  • Transfer the almond nut butter to an airtight container.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
