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.

Good recipe and so easy to make for everyone not keen on the trans fats they put in commercial nut butters. I used almond oil as I happened to spot some in the supermarket instead of the oil specified, but as this is the first time I have made this, I don't know if it tastes better. Cheers for this one, Chelle.
