Step it up: homemade almond butter!
Now, you can step up your almond butter toast in a few ways. First, make your own almond butter! It’s so, so delicious made at home. Here’s our master recipe for How to Make Almond Butter. How to make almond butter? It’s actually quite easy. Here are the basic steps:
Toast the almonds. Roast the nuts in the oven to bring out the flavor. Also, they blend better when they’re warmed up! Blend! After you toast the almonds, you throw them into a food processor and blend them for what seems like forever. You’ll see that they go through stages: they’ll be really crumbly at first, and then turn to gooey. Finally, they’ll turn to creamy: the perfect almond butter texture!
Or instead of almond butter, make any nut butter! Here are our recipes for homemade peanut butter, cashew butter or nut butter. If you have a food processor, we recommend you give it a try! It’s incredibly delicious and fun to make at home.
And that’s it: an easy breakfast in no time!

Provide toppings for your guests and let them get creative. On a more personal note, we’re headed off to Alaska for a summer vacation with my family.
