Cinnamon-Honey Almond Butter

What is better than almond butter?  Almond butter enriched with a touch of honey and cinnamon!

Cinnammon-Honey Almond Butter

10 oz raw almonds,
1-2 T Canola oil
1 T honey
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Toast almonds for 15 minutes or until they become shiny. (This means the natural oils are seeping out).

Next, if you prefer no skins in your almond butter, remove them.  (This can be done easily after roasting and cooling.  Just rub them between your fingers!)  If you like the skins (they add a nice smoky flavor), keep them.

In a food processor, combine almonds with other ingredients.  Process until it reaches the consistency you like...smooth? chunky? a mixture?  If you want a smoother, runnier consistency, add 1 more T of Canola oil.  (But note, this adds more calories!)

Use on crackers, bread, etc! Yummmmm
