Well here's my Almond version of my awesome Homemade Peanut Butter Recipe. Not gonna get to chatty just gonna jump right into the recipe so here goes.
Nikkie's Homemade Roasted Almond Butter
Every year is always a challenge to figure out whats the most awesome thing I could make for my lovely hubby for valentines. Well took me a minute but then it came to one night while watching him perform his before bedtime snack or as he calls it "feeding his body/muscles while he sleeps." He has a protein shake and a spoonful of PB. So I figured making him some would be a big hit. So here's a simple recipe I have after playing around. Gluten free and taste great.
Nikkie's Homemade Peanut Butter
Makes about 2 Cups(16oz)
Ingredients:
4 cups of Dry Roasted Peanuts
2 Tbsp of Peanut Oil(optional but I like the flavor it brings, plus it makes it not as dry)
1 Tbsp of Kosher Salt(if you like salter PB add 1 more Tbsp)
Flavor Options:
- Honey-Add 1/4 cup of Honey
- Chopped nuts-1/2 cup for chunky, 1 cup for extra chunky
- Choose a different nut(cashew, almonds, macadamia)
Directions:
Setup food processor, add peanuts, start processor.
Add Oil and salt. A ball will start to form, keep processing. Will start to look chunky, like thick peanut butter(this is the final stage before it turns creamy), keep processing. I stopped (picture below)when its still pretty thick but not to thick, my hubby likes thick or chunky PB better. So I stopped here
Last 30 seconds add chopped nuts for chunky. Viola Peanut butter, it will seem thin but once in the fridge it thicken up. Process will take about 5 minutes. Will refrigerate up to 1 month.
He loved it and now I'm his Peanut butter maker Queen. Coming soon, more flavors and chocolate peanut butter.

Homemade Peanut Butter. . . . for my Hubby for Valentine
I love mashed potatoes, but if I want my hubby to eat them I have to make the healthy kind. To achieve this, the next best thing is cauliflower mash. Here's a simple way to achieve the same yummy texture and the kids love it too

When I make my cranberry sauce its jellied, so its not chunky as you would call it. Doesn't mean you have to discard all that goodness. I love making homemade Popsicle with my tot and for myself all the time. So i thought I'd share this fun, simple, recipe. So whether you have leftover sauce or leftover pulp like me this is a great recipe.
