Wow! I have made cashew and hazelnut butters in the VitaMix, but I have always struggled with the almond butter. And we love the stuff so much. I’m so excited that you posted the steps the nuts go through – now I see I’ve been giving up too soon. Thank you!

Are you talking about an immersion blender?

you should use a hand blender! It makes butter in few seconds!

P.S. Sorry to double post, but I make this with almonds that have been soaked and dehydrated (and frozen) and it still works.

Shannon, you’re right, the almond butter that you buy has been heated, because (nearly) all almonds have to be pasteurized now by law, and even if it is raw, the almonds have definitely not been soaked. I order my almonds from a small farm in California, they are organic, non-pasteurized and so delicious. Anyways, to avoid “cooking” your butter, just switch off the processor every once in a while and let it cool, then proceed as usual.

[...] like cleaning greens, chopping or shredding veggies for salads, and making nut butter. I found a super simple recipe a few months ago and now make nut butters at home instead of paying $$$ for less than stellar [...]

I’ve got an old Braun. My son is really missing his almond butter (I’d read that those you buy have been heated, even if they say raw) and I’d like to make him some! I’m thinking of doing it all on high next time but I hate wasting the nuts only to find out it’s cooked again. I’m wondering if this means I should bite the bullet and buy a new food processor.

Shannon: I am confused. My food processor does not have a low and a high setting. Only one. Also, I did take the temp and it was under 100 when finished. So, no problem with that. What machine are you using?
