The 7500 series and maybe some the newer Vitamix models need 6_cups of almonds to properly make good almond butter. Your tips and recipe are great, just use more almonds!!

Just made my first batch of almond butter! This was really so easy to make and it tastes fabulous!!! I took whatever time needed roasting the almonds as I didn’t want to add oil. I followed all your tips (scraping the container, etc.) I’ll never buy store bought again-Thank you Lisa!!

Have a great time on your trip!!

Works perfectly. Used my new A2500 and followed directions exactly. I’ve had trouble in the past with other blenders/smoothie makers but this was exactly as she said it would be. I roasted my almonds for 13 minutes and let completely cool (took about 30 minutes) and then used the high setting on my Vitamix and tampered the entire time. Perfect texture and I didn’t have to add oil. I used Great Value whole natural almonds (Walmart brand in yellow bag). Best almond butter I’ve ever tasted.

In reply to Lisa Bryan.

Hi Lisa – I just wanted to let you know that I’ve made at least a dozen pints of almond butter very successfully and easily since I posted the comment above about my first failed attempt, and I’ve given some away as gifts too. 4 cups of almonds is the magic number. I usually blend it for nearly 2 minutes to get it super smooth and then I slowly pour it in a jar adding chopped almonds as I go to make it crunchy. I’ve been painstakingly scooping out little bits of almond butter until the container was mostly clean, but gosh, I LOVE your idea of using a banana and milk to clean the container. Thank you!!

I have been making this almond butter now for a few months and it is awesome! It is easy to make after I roast my almonds! I dip carrots and celery into it and even some bananas too. I need to try some of the other recipes that use this butter. I roasted a bunch of almonds just today in order to prepare for a big batch of nut butter! Your recipes are the bomb! Yeah, baby!

This looks absolutely delicious and have been on edge wanting to make it for so long now. I just can’t justify a $27 jar of peanut butter when I can go buy a 16oz jar of jiffy for $3. We just had a baby and I was looking into healthier choices and thought homemade would be cheaper, especially since the dog literally has his own hefty jar of peanut butter. I know it’s not as healthy or as good and I was wanting to make the switch to homemade nut butters, however, for me it’s just going to have to wait.
While I’m here, I might as well ask. The almonds you linked is a 2lb bag. How much of that do you use to equal 4 cups? There are many conflicting answers on the web. I’ve seen 1lb makes 2 cups, 3 cups, and 3 1/2 cups.

This is my go to nut butter guide. In my humble opinion, roasting the almonds is definitely the way to go though I have made it both ways with great success. I never enjoyed store brands as they were always too oily and the texture was off. This is not only gives a better texture, it’s a lot more cost effective. Enjoy!
