All you need is a food processor and a little patience. It takes about 15 minutes for my processor, with numerous pauses to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almonds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender
Instructions
- Toast the almonds in an oven or toaster oven at about 300F for about 10 minutes. You want them to be warm and fragrant, but not dark.
- Transfer the toasted almonds into a food processor. Puree for about 15 minutes, stopping occasionally as needed to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. It will transform from almonds to almond meal, to almond flour, to a clay-like ball, to eventually a smooth, pourable texture. If you stop too soon, the final product will be dry and mealy.
- When it becomes smooth and creamy, add the salt and dried lavender. Puree for another minute to combine fully. Enjoy with apples, toast, or as you wish.
