The 8 Best Almond Butters of 2020

how does it stay fresh in the fridge for? im going to make whole made crunchy peanut butter.

Could you let them sit on the cookie sheet or in a bowl overnight? Would that make any difference?

I make this once a month. It is amazing but there is a learning curve due to oven differences.
Here in Japan I use a convection oven that is small by American standards.
My oven temperature in selected by increments of 10, so I bake the almonds at 180 Celsius.
I bake them for exactly 14 minutes and remove the immediately to cool.

During processing I use 3 tablespoons of coconut oil to make the resulting almond butter smoother and more easily spreadable / less thick.

If it’s from the USA you can bet it”s GMO…not interested once it’s from there ������

Tried it and seriously thought my Vitamix was about to explode, but it was fine and the almond butter turned out great!

How well would this work out if I try this in a “wet” container? Specifically the wet container on an Explorian E320?

both are terrible devices. Both designed to fail. Avoid at all costs…..

Im such a fan of almond butter sandwiches im anxious to try this cause it will save a ton of money. Although my blender sucks. Might chop them up a bit at first but not as good as yours. I ordered that Emersion blender after trying your mashed cauliflower. Maybe that blender could be useful here to. Also im curious if a similar process could be done for other nut spreads? Like if i wanted to try to make pecan butter for sandwiches.

I have a ninja that has the nut butter setting and pretty much I press the button and walk away come back and there’s nut butter where my nuts just were. I think if you want to make nut butters you should go with a different ninja. That one is maybe meant for more liquid based items.

Fore first time EVER I noticed a blanched almond flour and an unblanched almond flour…both same brand…both same superfine grain…both same price… which is better for general all purpose use?

Question: Did you use the dry blade container or the wet blade container to make almond butter?

Shout out to ‘Money: a user’s guide’ by Laura Whateley for giving a shout out to pip & nut!!

How does it taste is it sweet or just nutty? Really interested in making this as ordering mine soon on Monday coming as after that it’s paying debts off

Hate to burst your excitement bubble, but “Journal of Food Science” reveals that almonds roasted over 280 F can damage their cellular structures and degrade their quality, making them more susceptible of releasing oil during storage. Roasting almonds above 130 degrees Celsius encourages acrylamide formation, a product with links to causing cancer. In another study from the “Journal of Food Science” in 2007, the amount of acrylamide formed increases as the color of the almonds gets darker as they roast. Almonds are most susceptible to the formation of acrylamide, since they contain high amounts of the amino acid asparagine. Acrylamide starts to form in almonds when they are heated above 266°F. The formation of acrylamide becomes especially high at temperatures above 295°F. You should have done your homework…roasting detroys nutrients!!! Instead, soak your almonds, the dehydrate them in a dehyrator, and then turn them into almond butter.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for this video ��
I’m currently waiting on my Vitamix a2300i to be delivered (hopefully tomorrow!) I cannot wait to start making amazing stuff in it! Your channel has been a huge help in taking the leap and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed ♥️ I’m thrilled I managed to get a Vitamix all the way to my home in the beautiful Maltese islands and I hope I get many years of good use from it ����

Man, you are an idiot. First, you complain about how hard it is to take the blade off of the Ninja, but then every time you put it back on you kept wrenching it down as hard as you could. That’s just moronic. Second, I’ve made nut butter with almonds in the Ninja, by using ultra blend, and it worked perfectly well. Here’s a tip! Maybe you should learn the product before making a video and telling people it can’t do something. Thumb’s DOWN!!!

Just curious why you guys don’t soak your almonds? Thank you.

I say for nut Butters (raw or roasted)hang both of these up! Too much work when it shouldn’t be that much work. For a nut butter I throw my nuts & salt into my 14 cup KitchenAid food processor. Then Walk away:-)

When you come back you have a nut butter:-)

Almond oil check
Bag of almonds check
Blender check
Kids to do all the work for me I gotta have me a few kids before I make this recipe.

Can you make almond butter in the small 8 ounce cups? I just got mine and it was an epic fail as there was no way to push the nuts around. I got finely ground nuts but not creamy enough for nut butter.

Did anyone feel extremely uncomfortable and confused
AL-mond or AH-mond

Looks like you either got a new 64 oz container or you cleaned it up really well!:) Great vid. Can’t wait to try!

I know I’m thinking ahead, but I plan on using my Vitamix to make my Christmas gifts this year �� A little bundle of homemade bread, home made jam, and homemade almond butter, made all cute and cozy!

I’m not good at youtube… i have a question for you, but don’t know how to ask. I’m trying to get healthy, I know you don’t like to do a “this is what i ate today”, videos, you made a podcast over how you don’t like that, but then went on to talk about what you eat weakly, lol. I’ve spent a chunk of time going through your podcasts, the ones were you rap and give tips, but can’t find that episode, you have 20 now. DO you know which one it is??? please… thank you so much, trying to go cleaner keto and start focusing more on losing weight, You’ve helped me so much…

Why not buy both and stop bitching? I mean it’s only a blender

I am still wondering why a tall white hat just to smash a nut.

Aquí queda demostrado que a los dos aparatos les falta tener un botón para que los idiotas que no saben, no los manejen, sean chef o no

I dont think this was a good idea, Ninja says you shouldnt use it to blend dry stuff

Not too bad? That doesn’t even resemble a nut butter. Get a food processor less work high quality nut butter

Id love to be contributing hours of work here.. Awesome video!!!

You should always add some liquid when using nutribullet. It s not made for mixing nuts.

Here come the people with issues about water consumption, when the animal agriculture industry takes sooo much more…

Why didn’t you try the blend setting? It changes speed to help with the blending process. All you did was spin the almond crumbs.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your videos! You deserve way more subscribers. Why don’t you use SMZeus. c o m?! You could use it to promote your videos!!!

Great idea Steve! I usually make my own blanched almond flour as it’s cheaper as well ��

Unfortunately I discovered your Chanel after purchasing a VitaMix. Feel bad since I’ve used your recipes. Thanks for producing this work.

Does your container lock in place? I have a 5300 and it does not lock in place, which is a little annoying for me because I have to fight it from jumping off the base when I use the tamper.

2 piece of junks head to head. Never buy product from as seen on TV scammer company or from a new gen new born advertising campaign aka scam hyped based company.

My dog loves when i blanch nuts. She usually picks up about 10 that fly across the room so i always do a few extra than i need��

I have the same nutrininja & a nutribullet 600W and I can say that nutribullet outperforms ninja easily.

When you say go to 10, is that the same as high-speed on the classic?

It’s called an immersion blender, use the right tool for the right job. These tests are fucking stupid.

thanks for the tips!! when you blended 4 cups of almond how much did you get them from?

You are funny
But both machine shit will not live longer than one year
Blendtec������

I had no idea how to blanch almonds. Thanks for the tutorial. I will be sitting at the kitchen table peeling mine. It looks like small batches are the way to go.

Almond butter is one of the hardest butters to make, even with a blender that has 2.2hp the consistency of almond butter is much more dense and thick than lets say than peanut butter. the type of blenders this guy is using is very limited to what it can do

Hello guys! I want to buy one. Do you think ninja is the best. Want a sharp blade. Please suggest.

Question: Did you use the dry blade container or the wet blade container to make almond butter?
I have used both & the dry blade makes it the creamiest.

Great video. Thanks! Maybe you could compare the ease of cleaning each of the blenders/blender blades. I’ve heard some pretty bad things about cleaning the blades. It would be nice to hear from someone who uses them in a more professional capacity.

Peeling the skins looks like a relaxing thing to do! I’m loving trying new things from your videos! Thank you!

Actually, I would have preferred an Unfair advantage where you used the Ninja Auto-IQ cycle to gain the edge in your demo Excercise. Or maybe it would still fail? But that’s the real challenge. Which one would make the Almond Butter in the shortest time? So that would really be the true Winner. Thank you.

Nut Butter, that would suggest there was Nut Milk from which to separate the Nut Fat from the Nut Milk to make Nut Butter. Almonds must have gone GMO if they have mammary glands to produce milk to make butter. how many MACHINES does it take to PROCESS the almonds into spreadable mush? too many. it’s called Processed Food for a reason.

So I can use any vitamix for this recipe right?.i got the economic one! 😉

Steve, you can do the same thing by just pouring boiling water over the almonds. I have also had success by just soaking the almonds in cold water for 10 minutes to 1/2 hour.

They actually taste so good. I prefer that then eating actual almond one by one. Super healthy

[ ] I feel like the Nutribullets are not as promising as everyone says! I got one last month from Target and had to return it because it kept leaking and was so hard to clean up. My friend showed me this sale for a portable compact handheld blender on this site called SlushTek.com and it was way cheaper than the Nutribullet and I can bring it anywhere! I even bought some for my kids so they’ll be able to bring em to school once things open up! Just a heads up for those thinking of buying one, you might be able to get more bang for your buck

If you’d put the Ninja onto pulse & just let it pulse, it’d have made Almond butter.You’re just in favour of the bullet, so you weren’t giving Ninja a chance. Ninja is hands down, MILES better than the bullet

Awesome video! I love these educational videos so we can see things and procedures that we will never be able to visit and participate in! Thank you!!!

Yes! Thanks for the “How To” Video without exotic ingredients! I will be doing this very soon to have around. Thanks so much.

What they don’t tell you is how much water Almond trees need to grow (it’s obscene), which is a HUGE problem in long term, draught-stricken California.
Or that China is driving the demand (and price) for Almonds in California, which is literally draining the state dry.

I was thinking about making blanched almond butter this morning, it’s like you read my mind. Looks good, I’ve never made it but I do make peanut butter for my boyfriend. I actually prefer my nut butters with just salt, no sweetener.

Thanks. Now I know what I’m doing with all my almonds. I was wondering what the self life is and also where is it stored. I have about 10 lbs of almond flour, could I just pop some in the blender with the MCT to make the butter? Always informative your videos are spot on

Almond butter is it from animals? _ For the people with a BRAIN THAT CARE I’ll tell you our Wildlife didn’t have an easy go of it in 2018. We lost the LAST male northern white rhino, the vaquita porpoise continued its slide toward extinction, poachers kept targeting pangolins and other rare creatures, and through it all the Trump administration kept trying to whittle away at key protections for endangered species. So with that rough bit of recent history, what does 2019 hold? Well, in most cases it won’t be pretty. There will be more blood, more habitat loss, more legislative attacks and more extinctions Here are some big issues that experts say we should be watching in 2019: Humanity’s ongoing destruction of wildlife will lead to a shrinking of nature, with the average body size of animals falling by a quarter, a study predicts. The researchers estimate that more than 1,000 larger species of mammals and birds will go extinct in the next century, from rhinos to eagles. They say this could lead to the collapse of ecosystems that humans rely on for food and clean water. Humans have wiped out most large creatures from all inhabited continents apart from Africa over the last 125,000 years. This annihilation will accelerate rapidly in the coming years, according to the research The future extinctions can be avoided if radical action is taken to protect wildlife and restore habitats, and the scientists say the new work can help focus efforts on key species. Animal populations have FALLEN BY 60% since 1970, suggesting a SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION of life on Earth is under way caused by the razing of wild areas, hunting and intensive farming. Scientists JUST SAID that human society was in danger from the decline of the Earth’s natural life-support systems, with half of natural ecosystems now destroyed and a total of a million species at risk of extinction! “It is worrying that we are losing these big species when *we don’t know their full role,” said Robert Cooke, at the University of Southampton, who led the new research. “Without them, things could begin to degrade quite quickly. Ecosystems could start to collapse and become not what we need to survive.” Climate Chaos Of course, climate change will continue to threaten species around the world in 2019. “The impacts of climate change aren’t showing signs of slowing, and this administration refuses to recognize it,” says Charise Johnson of the Union of Concerned Scientists. “Water temperatures are rising, increased flooding, deforestation, fires, storms—these are all things that affect a species’ existence.” And new threats continue to emerge. “There’s been a lot of discussion about how global climate change affects ocean acidification, and now there’s emerging evidence that the even greater threat is reduced oxygen levels,” says noted conservationist William Laurance of James Cook University. A study published last month found that ocean deoxygenation could have a major impact on zooplankton, one of the building blocks for the ocean food web. Deoxygenation also causes increased algal growth, like the red tides that choked the coasts of Florida this past year and killed hundreds of manatees and tens of thousands of fish “Changes in ocean composition will be a large-scale driver of mortality,” Laurance says. “Some people are calling this ‘the great dying.’ ” A related issue in the Arctic also appears to be another emerging threat. According to the just-released “Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation in 2019” (the tenth annual edition of this study), climate-change induced release of carbon from polar ice will further worsen global warming, while the release of mercury from thawing permafrost will create a toxic threat for animals, plants and soil. Meanwhile, on top of the obvious weather-related changes, climate change could create an additional unexpected threat to some species: wildlife trafficking. “Some species will undoubtedly decline as a result of climate change, making them rarer and thus potentially even more desirable by those who trade in them,” explains Richard Thomas, global communications coordinator for TRAFFIC, the anti-wildlife-trafficking organization. “Addressing wildlife trade issues and promoting sustainable harvesting are likely to become more important than ever,” he says. Politics in the Trump Era—and Beyond Among the greatest threats to wildlife are the Trump administration and similar politicians around the world, such as Brazil’s new far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, who took office last week and immediately moved to undermine indigenous rights in his country. “The new president in Brazil could unravel 50 years of progress for species, tropical forests and indigenous people,” says Lindsay Renick Mayer, associate director of communications for Global Wildlife Conservation. That could be devastating to one of the world’s most biodiverse regions on the planet, which is often referred to as the “lungs of the Earth.” Mayer adds that the recent election in Madagascar could be just as bad. Former president Andry Rajoelina, whose previous tenure was marked by a dramatic increase in illegal logging, deforestation and biodiversity loss, was reelected last month, although as of press time the election remains mired in protests and accusations of fraud. “The risk of losing the amazing biodiversity of Madagascar is always a big story and it could get worse now,” Mayer says. Getting back to the Trump administration, many experts worried about how things will play out for this country’s wildlife in the year ahead. Roads But outside of Washington, things are speeding up. New road and infrastructure projects, many backed by Chinese investment, are currently being carved into critical habitats in Indonesia, Africa, the Amazon and other regions. Much of this stems from China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a development strategy to build extractive industries in 70 nations around the globe along with overland roads, ports, railways and pipelines to exploit them. “We’re experiencing an avalanche of new infrastructure projects,” says Laurance, who points out that the Initiative has at least 7,000 developments planned or underway. One of the most notorious projects is a gigantic hydroelectric dam that could wipe out Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) in Sumatra. Meanwhile, a similar—if not even more extensive—proliferation of illegal roads is being constructed around the world by loggers, miners, poachers and other extractive industries. These activities threaten everything from elephants and tigers to insects and rare plants. A Host of Other Issues Here are a few more factors predicted to play a big role in 2019. First, we continue to learn more about how plastic waste affects wildlife and the environment. Most recently, a study found that 100 percent of sea turtles had plastic or microplastics in their digestive systems. With more and more plastic being produced every day, this will be a major focus of research and conservation the coming year. Meanwhile many experts also expressed fear about emerging diseases, like those affecting bats, frogs and salamanders. Lips also noted that it’s often hard to get funding and other support for these growing problems because they’re less in the public eye. “People and the media tend to focus on the current emergencies rather than the slow, long-term problems because we are not very good at maintaining focus and attention,” she says. The threats of poaching, snaring and wildlife trafficking will also remain significant around the world, as the forests of southeast Asia and the plains of southern Africa became emptied of their animal life and as “valued” species such as tigers, rhinos and pangolins face ever-increasing pressures. The Countdown Begins The year 2019 has just barely begun, but experts warn us that the opportunity to make a difference on these issues is already running short. “I don’t want to sound too bleak, but time is literally running out for the world as we know it,” say TRAFFIC’s Thomas. “The Earth simply can’t take the punishment of relentless over-exploitation of its natural resources, poisoning of its atmosphere and pollution of its oceans. We need to put aside political differences and work together to do something about this catastrophic situation—and quickly.”_*

i make mine usually between 1.5 to 2 mins.. I was scared at first but finally understood vitamix lol. I make it a point that it’s not less than 4 cups.. the more the nuts, the better it blend.. and just blend it at max! works all the time.

Great videos. Do the almonds need to be blanched for certain recipes? I’m lazy and would love to just use them with the skins on.

Не знаю, что хотят сказать этим видео, но ножи у этих приборов разные и поэтому сравнивать их не корректно

Your Amazon page is great!
It is really well organized to get the tools that I needed to make the recipes.
A lot easier than I thought it would be.
Thank you!

Wish I had a mill. I just use my food processor. But instead of salt, I add some sweetener and a touch of cinnamon. Personal preference. I grew up on peanut butter, but now I’m addicted to almond butter… FTW.

You may be wondering if you can just use blanched almond flour and some oil instead of going through this process. I’ve tried this and found that what I got didn’t taste good and I couldn’t get the same smooth texture as using actual almonds. This was using the Kirkland brand almond flour and the same almond oil that I used in this recipe. I’m not saying it won’t work for you, but it didn’t turn out well for me.

I make mine. A trick for good flavor is in roasting before grinding. Unsurprisingly a Champion juicer does a wonderful job of grinding with the blank plate in. No need to add any oil or salt or sweetner. Before doing all this I happen to also soak over night in water, then dehydrate first. That’s when I roast and grind. I leave the skins on. So yummy!

Thank for passing along all your bought sense (as they say in the south) and knowledge. Your channel is a wealth of finds! Your voice is soothing, your instructions are very simple as you (K.I.S.S), and you don’t sweat the small stuff.
Your Chaffle recipes are a go to and now, I’ll have to find time to scour your videos for additional dessert recipes! and when your cookbook comes out I will definitely purchase! Well done.

My son was in the room when you recommended convincing him it’s fun ��. Darn it man, you blew my cover!

Amigos, les dejo un enlace a un muy buen análisis de la nutribullet por si quieren saber más información sobre ella https://eligelicuadora.com/licuadora-nutribullet-magic-bullet/

What a great recipe!!! This is so awesome! Nut butters can be so expensive!

Thanks for your informative videos. I have a question though. I am.planning to get A2500. Do I need to purchase any other container for making nut butters or I can make it in the original container? Thx

i have a ninja food processor. would the puree setting work for this or do i have to have a blender?

Moronic Of course you should use Oil!!!! AND. You don’t know that almond butter companies don’t use ALMOND OIL in their products-

I just have the nearest Vitamix containers, is it ok to do nut butter with that too?

My 6 year old still considers you his favorite ‘cooker guy’…

So keep in mind I did this test WITHOUT any oil. When you buy nut butter in the store, it doesn’t have ADDED oil, so I figure why add it to the recipe.

Want me to do a future video tested it with oil? It would probably work.

Woohoo, just add confectioners sweetener and a pinch of salt and you have marzipan! That’s one thing i really miss eating. Great video as always.

I am starting to make homemade almond milk…and almond butter eventually. Can you tell me how
to soak raw almonds (about one cup) and how much water and salt to use. Hope my 2011 Vitamin 5200 can do it, never failed me yet!

You will mess the motor up. You have to use some kind of liquid. Like water

Yummy yummy! It’s almost time for me to make some nut butter too, I’m low!

The taste of coconut is epic, so I welcome any recipe that involves that ��, but blanched Almond Butter? Now that’s next level.

What do you think of the colloid mill?
Please leave your thoughts, thank you！
