How to Make Blanched Almond Butter - Save Over 80% vs Store Bought

Рет қаралды 28,148

Күн бұрын

Blanched almond butter is a great substitution for coconut manna in recipes. It can be used in candy bars (melted with chocolate) as well as baking recipes, such as my pound cake recipe, or in sweet chaffles (including a short cake chaffle that's coming soon).
Unfortunately, blanched almond butter costs A LOT. I priced out a couple of brands on Amazon at between $2.00 and $2.50 per ounce -- that's $24 or more for a jar! By way of contrast, plain blanched almonds are anywhere from $.50 to $.70 per ounce. And if you want to save even more, you can blanch your own almonds for $.26 per ounce when buying a bag at Costco. Now that 12 oz jar is just over $3 instead of $24 or more.

*Update:* I did another batch and this time I blanched the almonds and then soaked them over night (aka "sprouting"). I then dried out the almonds in my dehydrator. Now this may sound like a lot of work (though honestly it's mostly passive time), but the result was the creamiest, silkiest nut butter I've ever had. It only took a single 50 second run in the blender and I didn't need to add any oil.

I have strawberries waiting for my almonds to dry for the shortcake prep!! How long did it take for them to dry after the long soak, not the quick boil? So far I have had them at the lowest temp possible in the oven for several hours and they still seemed soft. Thank you!! 🌞

@kathyt729 4 жыл бұрын

Gail M. I’m always surprised at how long this takes - it’s well over 12 hours when I do almonds. I set my oven to Keep Warm - which is 170 on my oven. Sometimes it can take up to 24 hours for them to get crunchy again. If they’re not done when i go to bed at night, i just turn the oven off, leave them in there, and turn it back on in the morning. That way I can check them every few hours. Hope this helps!

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!

About Peeling the blanched almonds: Edit to Add: I see folks worried about the "drudgery" of peeling. If you can pinch your fingers together, you've just skinned an almond! it doesn't take much pressure or work, it might even happen more easily than you expect and then you have a nut flying the room. I found that leaving them in the cold water makes peeling MUCH easier. I just stuck my hand into the bowl of water, grabbed a nut and squeezed. The skin slipped off and the nut didn't fly across the room like the previous 3 did. I then just lifted the skin out and disposed into a bowl. The water slows down the ejection so it doesn't go anywhere and if you drop the skin, it just floats to the top. I didn't need paper towels or trays. I could see easily which still needed skinning and when I was done I just dumped the entire bowl into the colander and directly onto my dehydrator drying tray Twas super fast and super easy. ETA: and thanks for this suggestion for substitution for coconut manna. I can use coconut oil but I don't like coconut meat and I fear that I might not like coconut manna. Being kind of expensive and none of my friends will eat it if I don't as they hate coconut even more than I do, I'm hesitant to shell out for it. ( why aren't there samples of this stuff?!) . Being able to use blanched almond butter as a sub would make a world of difference and I'd be able to try some recipes that call for coconut manna/butter.

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 made some marzipan this morning and it turned out good but I'm sure it can be improved since I was improvising. I used 2 cups of blanched almonds which came to 326g. Blended that in a food processor til it was about the consistency of superfine almond flour. Mixed in 1 1/2 cups of powdered lakanto monk fruit sweetener which came to 300g. Then mixed together 4 tbsp of egg whites (the costco one in a carton) with 1 tsp each of almond extract and vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp of water then drizzled that into the almond mixture with the food processor running (I had to add 1 more tbsp of water to get it to the constency I wanted) It was about the consistency of where your almond butter was between the first and second tbsp of oil...I didn't use oil because I thought it might separate if I end up using this for baking. I rolled the marzipan into a log with plastic wrap and will store it in the fridge. A couple thoughts. It's not as sweet as store bought marzipan, I'd say more like almond paste. If you made it sweeter you'd probably need to add more water. Also from what I remember the store bought marzipan has a stronger almond taste so I'm thinking you could adjust the amount of almond extract if wanted.

Depends on your goal. Like I said in the beginning of the video, the recipe "as-is" is to replace coconut manna in my recipes for people who don't like coconut. If you want to use it as almond butter (like with some keto crackers), I'd probably just use skin on almonds. I'd probably soak them overnight, then roast them, then blend them. That would give you a bunch more almond taste that this version.

It is a German Xmas staple in the form of bars, pigs, mini-fruits, etc. Adjust mixture to make a sweet moldable paste. Great with keto chocolate or in keto pastry.

If you don't add oil, the fat in the almonds does render eventually and not only will it get your almond butter to an equally smooth consistency as with oil added, it'll also be a sweeter, more balanced product. So, as long as you have the right blender and vessel, just keep grinding, scraping, packing if you need to, and your persistence will pay off.

I've also found that giving the almonds a little roasting allows them to blend up very rapidly without the need for oil.

@@SeriousKeto yea true! i mean i’ve been doing the blending and straining method for my almond milk but I saw how almond milk is made with Nutramilk machine, which basically turn the almond into nut butter and then later on add water. so i think, it might be the same to make a quick almond milk?

Can you use a food processor instead of blender?

Yes, with a quality food processor. Expect it to take longer (up to 10-12 minutes).

Being that Almonds are full of phytates, wouldn't it be better to make Macadamia nut butter?

@SeriousKeto 4 жыл бұрын

I did a recipe on macadamia nut butter, people complained. So I make a video on almond butter... Personally, phytic acid is not high on my list of concerns.

@raraavis7782 4 жыл бұрын

Look into soaking/sprouting your nuts, that's supposed to lower phytates and it isn't really much more work, just a little time investment. I think, macadamia nuts are just too expensive for most folks (I know, I flinch at their price point) - especially if there is a cheaper, easily available alternative.
