Cinnamon Vanilla Almond Butter

We made homemade almond butter with cinnamon and vanilla in the Ninja on Monday! Tastes yummy but the loud Ninja was a little loud for as long as it takes to churn butter. It was probably on for a total of 10-12 minutes. But finally it became butter and it is tasty! Matthew and Luke already enjoyed some. 

Cinnamon Vanilla Almond Butter

Ingredients:

2 C. roasted almonds
1/2 - 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions: 

1. Place the almonds in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground. 

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for a few minutes at a time, making sure to scrape the sides of the food processor bowl frequently (if the mixture sticks).

3. Process for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.

4. Store in a mason jar of course and put in the fridge for freshness. 

Beyeler Reviews:

We made with only 1 Tbsp of Cinnamon and 1/2 Tbsp of Vanilla and wish we had more flavor so I made the variation in the recipe above. Also the original recipe said 1 Tbsp. of oil and we had to add 1 more to get it going. I think I'll try coconut oil next time...

Luke enjoyed pushing the button to start the Ninja!
