Coconut Almond Butter Recipe

- 1 cup raw, unsalted almonds (preferably organic)
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- For a sweeter version, add 1T maple syrup or honey and 1tsp cinnamon
- For a salty version, add 1 tsp sea salt
- Throw the above ingredients in your food processor and process for 8-10 minutes, or until you achieve a smooth butter consistency. You will need to stop the processor every 2 minutes or so to scrape down the sides and keep it moving. It may not look like it will turn to butter, but be patient and make sure the mixture is not getting stuck on the blade.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature (coconut butter solidifies when refrigerated).
- Enjoy!
