Step it up: homemade almond butter!
Now there are a number of ways you can improve your almond butter toast. First, make your own almond butter! It’s so, so delicious homemade. Here is our main recipe for making almond butter. How do you make almond butter? It is actually quite simple. Here are the basic steps:
- toasting almonds Roast the nuts in the oven to bring out the flavor. Plus, they blend better when reheated!
- Mixed! After you toast the almonds, throw them in a food processor and puree them to achieve what appears to be quiet. You will see that they go through phases: they will be very crumbly at first, then they will become slimy. Eventually they get creamy: the perfect almond butter texture!
Or instead of almond butter, make any nut butter! Here are our homemade peanut butter, cashew butter, or nut butter recipes. If you have a food processor, we encourage you to try it! It’s incredibly delicious and fun to make at home.

More personal: We are going to Alaska with my family for summer vacation. I’m particularly looking forward to my sister, who lives in Southeast Asia, because visits to the other end of the world are rare. We will spend most of our time in and around Juneau. Let us know if you have any travel tips and we’d like to know if we have readers in that part of the country? TO UPDATE: We loved Juneau Alaska! Read all about it here.
