I was going to buy almond butter for another Zaar recipe, but read the label and saw egg white. Egg white?! So I tried this. My processor is kind of wimpy and that may be why I had to double the oil. But it turned out great, though I think I'll use less salt next time. Thanks! Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag game.

    Very simple but good! I sometimes roast my almonds for enhanced flavour. Thank you.

    Delicious! I found I had to add a lot more oil to get it to the right consistency. I also added a generous squeeze of honey. I will be making this frequently.

    Works great, much better than blanching and skinning them. They don't grind down very well that way. The skins are good for you anyways. I didn't roast them this time and used 4 T Smart Bal. oil and 1/8 tsp salt. Turned out pretty darn good! I will try roasting my raw almonds next time and see if I like it better.
