Not Delicious

I often make our own almond butter. It is ridiculously easy and a fraction of the cost of the stuff at the grocery store. Every once in awhile I like to think I am a masterer baker and get a little creative in the kitchen. A master baker is something I can occasionally pull but not often. I should really just leave it to the professionals (read: my sister and sister in law who really and truly are master bakers).

Here are my instructions for a not delicious made up almond and hazelnut butter.
First make sure you underbake your almonds and hazelnuts so they won't release oils properly in the food processor

At this point I should have just taken it out and had a gluten free flour but alas I kept on.

Insert cute baby in a ridiculous outfit because she wants to help. At this point you still think you are doing a good job because the baby calls is "chocolate peanut butters"

Still processing but it's not getting very creamy so you should definitely get creative. Add some coconut oil and honey to cream it up a bit. When that doesn't work go crazy and add in some hemp seeds and chia seeds because hey! they are good for you and if you are already breaking the mold why not go overboard. Finally add some coconut milk for a dash of extra recipe crazy. 

In the morning serve it on toast to your five year old.
When she makes this face you shouldn't be surprised because there is a whole container of some ridiculous made up almond butter stuff that your children and husband will hate...except for the 2 year who is currently asking for more "chocolate toast butters"
