Maple Almond Butter

I am having a cooking and baking day. First on the list was this maple almond butter. I was nervous because I tried coconut butter a while back and it didn't turn out so well in the mini processor.

I didn't want to sit and hold the button down for as long as it took to make it the right creamy texture, approximately 15-20 minutes while scraping the sides often. Half way through I added 1/2 tsp of maple extract and 1 packet of Splenda.

It turned out creamy and flavorful! I don't know if I will by a nut butter again!
