Ingredients

Scale

2 cups raw almonds
2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup
beans from ½ vanilla bean
sea salt, to taste
3 teaspoons coconut oil, partially melted (possibly)

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350ºF. Then, line a baking sheet with tin foil. Place almonds on baking sheet and top with maple syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt. Toss almonds with your hands. Make sure they are evenly spread out on the baking sheet. Roast almonds at 250ºF for 8-10 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Once the almonds have cooled, transfer into a small food processor. Process on high for about 5 minutes, scraping the sides. At this point, if your almond butter has not started to become a nut butter consistency, add in a teaspoon of coconut oil at a time. I used 3 teaspoons. Whirl until drippy.
Once the almond butter is at the desired consistency, add in paste from ½ a vanilla bean and give it one last whirl to mix it all together.
Store in an airtight container or jar. Best if kept in the refrigerator or a dark place.
