Vanilla Sugar Almond Butter
“Hey Juli! How was your day yesterday?” -random person who doesn’t exist to ask me that
“Oh you know. Just got pooped on by a bird. Or some kind of creature. Directly on my nose. All my worst fears finally came to life.” -pooped on Juli
Yeahhhhh. I got shat on. It wasn’t a large amount of poop, but enough to be ashamed. I was just jogging, minding my own business and pain, and a creature just let his business go. I’ve always had a fear of that happening to me when geese fly overhead, not while jogging downtown. But it happened. And to add insult to injury, I could barely squat because my hip flexor is acting up. W.T.F.
So, to answer your question, random person who doesn’t exist. “Yesterday was my favorite.”
But who doesn’t love a good almond butter?? Let’s get back to non poopy happy times. That include almond butter. If you’re still one of those people that aren’t sure what to do with almond butter, here’s the answer: you eat it. With a spoon, with a fork (awkwardly), with bananas, with apples, with celery, and really anything else you want. The world is your pyramid. Whatever the hell that means.
Have you noticed how Tyra Banks’ nose keeps getting smaller and smaller each year? It’s Michael Jackson style now. May he rest in peace. It’s just such a bummer because she’s like, REAL good looking. But she keeps ruining it. But who am I to say what good looking is. I’m not famous. Or a model. Maybe as I get older, I’ll start shootin’ up my face as well. You never know.
Kcoolbye.

This almond butter sounds fantastic! Yum!!
so APPARENTLY getting shat on by some sort of winged bird creature is good luck.
Or so said all my coworkers after the same thing happened to me last week.
Is Coconut Sugar Paleo????????
depends who you talk to. according to me, yes
This made me smile. Like seriously ear to ear smile. I love making my own almond butter. Now I’m going to run out for coconut sugar and gleefully make this. Thanks for sharing!
That looks amazing!! Sorry you got pooped on…but that and the Tyra Bank’s comment made for a good laugh this morning. 🙂
Yummy! I’m going to make this RIGHT NOW!
As far as getting shat on…that is GOOD LUCK according to us Chinese folk!!!! Heehee!

Lots of good fortune is coming your way, Juli. Thanks for continuing to inspire us daily. I <3 you!
That’s good luck you know:)
Do you think you could do this with coconut oil?!?1 LOOKS AMAZING.
And sorry about your poop face.
absolutely!
I love dipping beef jerky in nut butters. Weird? Yes. My old roommate would walk into the kitchen and be like “wtf are you doing?” but its so good. Especially sunflower butter. That stuff is amazing. And cashew butter. Oh I love me some cashews.
This looks awesome. just 5 days left of sugar detox. I’m scared to even let a little sugar back in b/c I think I will go crazy!
I just discovered coconut sugar after trying Against All Grain’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. This almond butter…is happening now. Thanks for the idee-r.
OMG I have been making my own almond butter recently and it never occurred to me to add oil. Maybe that will help with the texture, because the way it is now, it sticks all over my teeth when I try to eat it…
Making this sooon!!!!
You KNOW I had to google Tyra now…
And I’m definitely putting this almond butter into some baked goodness.
I love nut butters, so much that I can’t keep them in the house otherwise I could eat the entire jar in two days. If I do happen to have a jar, I always eat it with a fork, it’s slows down the shoveling process.
I was going to look for a recipe…but was wondering if it’s hard on a food processor blade? Because I’d make it ALL the time…
I’ve had my food processor for 3 years and have made A LOT of nut butters and it’s been just fine. And I mean A LOT.
Every time I see a celebrity with a new face (or new part of a face) it makes me so sad.
I have a few white hairs that have sprouted (right in front!) and I’m not going to color them. My first thought was, “This is a little alarming. Am I that old?” My second thought was, “Cool. I AM that old. And I look pretty darn good for my age too!”
Just made almond butter the first time the other day and am going to Whole foods tomorrow so I’m deff trying this for my next batch! I used coconut oil for my almond butter and it was ama-za-zing! So I’m going to use this on almond pancakes with fruit jam 🙂 D.r.o.o.l
★★★★★
Now that I have my kitchen gear back, I’m totally making this!
★★★★
putting sugar on a banana? lol
★★
Gotta love it!! You could put it on celery instead 🙂
Ohh this looks yummy. I finally ended up buying sunbutter after seeing it used on so many paleo blogs. It is seriously just like peanut butter so i dont know why people dont just eat sunbutter since its better for you. I am like you and just spoon it. I dont need complicated meals! When i scarf down my jar, im making this. It sounds equally spoonable.
NOM! I make a lot of almond butter, but I had never thought of adding vanilla to it…
Thanks, I needed that laugh!
Just made this but used coconut oil since I don’t have almond oil. SOOOO GOOOOD! its basically candy 🙂
“Eat with whatever you like” Does that mean a giant spoon?
Great recipe! I use Coconut Sugar in 2 of my nut butters…it’s so amazing, and truly a great alternative to cane sugar.
Wow. Sharing this one on my own blog! But since it’s not a carb reload day for me I’m swapping the coconut sugar with either some stevia or xylitol. Spreading it on apples with some cinnamon! Yum! Thank you!!!!
Getting shat on is better than getting dive-bombed – I was crossing a road on the way home from work and a bird straight up ran into my face! My eye had a huge chunk o’ blood in it and the Dr said I was lucky it didn’t scratch my retina. Naughty birds!
This looks stupid delicious.
★★★★
How long do you think it lasts in the fridge?
Also I love your website it is so helpful and love your stories. Thank you 🙂
super long. just store it in a container and it should last more than 2 weeks
Can’t wait to try this…just need to get a food processor!
I’m amazed at how smooth your almond butter is. Whenever I make it in the Vitamix I get like a play-doh consistency -__- I’m think I need to add more oil or something. What kind of food processor do you have?
★★★★★
Yeah more oil does the trick. I have a 9 cup cuisinart
Just made this (with olive oil) and I am not even lying when I say that I drank it while it was still warm from the food processor. Yeah…*hangs head in shame*
Well I didn’t make this one but instead made the honey cinnamon almond butter from your cookbook and holy crap it’s amazing and I want to eat the whole thing for lunch. I can’t wait to make this one to compare!
Do you think I can omit the coconut sugar and just add a few drops of liquid stevia instead?
Absolutely
