Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter
Published on June 17, 2011
Almond butter is one of those great pleasures in life. It is somewhat pricey at the store, so when I saw Brittanyโs recipe for homemade Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter on Tasty Kitchen I knew I had to try it. I love all things cinnamon and raisin. Plus, the recipe only has four ingredients-almonds, cinnamon, raisins, and vanilla. You canโt get any easier than that!
First, you roast the almonds for about 20 minutes in the oven to bring out the flavor. Next, you put all of the ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth. That is it! The outcome is creamy, sweet, cinnamon kissed almond butter. If you are a raisin hater, donโt shy away from this recipe. The raisins disappear after processing and just add a hint of sweetness to the almond butter. If you are a nut butter fan, try making this Cinnamon Raisin Almond Butter at home. It is great on toast, sandwiches, a great dip for apples, or stirred into oatmeal. For the recipe and step-by-step photos visit Tasty Kitchen.

This looks so delicious! Definitely getting some almonds at the market this weekend and giving this a try!
yep, just died and went to almond butter heavenโฆso delicious!
I have cinnamon raisin toast with almond butter pretty much every morning for breakfast. I just crave these flavors together! This looks like a heavenly mixture (: Canโt wait to make it. Thanks a bunch!
drooool. I love all nut butter, but I think AB is my favorite. I bet the raisin does amazing things. Iโve added it to walnut butter before- so good
I am a huge fan of almond butter โ especially homemade. Thanks for sharing!
Love this idea! This is a great way to make toast extra-special at breakfast time.
I love how easy this is AND it contains ingredients I canโt live without! Yum.
Almond butter is expensive โ great idea making your own, and cinnamon raisins sounds really good!
My son is deathly allergic to peanuts, so Iโm so excited to have found your recipe for almond butter. No more buying the expensive stuff- thanks!!!
It is so easy to make at home. I buy almonds in bulk when they are on sale. Enjoy!
YUM! I was obssessed with the Peanut butter Coโs Cinnamin Raisin PB a couple of years ago. Since Ive switched to the almond butter bandwagon I cant wait to try!!!
I love almond butter and love the idea of making my own. I canโt wait to try this!
Yum! I fell in love with this on tasty kitchen. Great recipe!
Love it! This looks delicious !
Sounds so easy, and looks lovely too!
This looks so lovely, I canโt wait to make it.
This looks awesome! Iโve never made homemade nut butter but have always wanted to try. I love the addition of cinnamon and raisin. Thanks for sharing! ๐
Iโm a huge fan of almond butter and have been quite addicted to it lately. My kids actually prefer almond butter to peanut butter so I canโt wait to try this!
canโt wait to try this one! Have a great weekend
Looks delish! I love the idea of making my own โ Iโll be it is a lot less than buying it at the store! Looking forward to trying it.
Umm yes please! My dadโs all-time favorite thing is homemade cinnamon raisin bread, but this will last him so much longer. Iโm totally making it for Fatherโs Day
Iโm a HUGE almond butter lover alsoโฆbut not so much a fan of the hefty price. Why havenโt I thought to make my own beforeโฆDOH. Love this flavor combo.
I agree, cinnamon raisin just about anything tastes great ๐
I am a HUGE fan of nut butter! Iโm almost done with my jar of delicious cinnamon raisin peanut butter, so this is perfect timing!
Mine did not get creamy like bought peanut butter. It is dry. What did I do?
I processed it for a long time to get creamy. If you need to add a splash of canola oil you can, but ours got creamy on itโs own.
OOoohhhh, almond butter, AND with cinnamon and raisins??!! YUM!
Funny how itโs never occurred to me to make my own. Now I can!
Iโm so excitedโฆ
My favorite post workout snack in college was a cinnamon raisin bagel topped with peanut butter, so I know I would love this โ yum!
This looks really good. Canโt wait to try it!
I really need to make my own nut butters more often. I bet this would be awesome with peanuts too!
LOVE this idea! Canโt wait to try it!
Flavored nut butters are SO delicious!
Cinnamon raisin is such a great combination. I used to buy a cinnamon raisin peanut butter, but Iโm a fan of almond butter as well so I will have to try this out.
This is fabulous, absolutely a keeper.. thank you!
I had to add a little bit of oil because while it was not grainy at all, it was not spreadable. It was like wet sand. Do you think roasting the almonds a little more might help with releasing the oil or should I have processed it longer. Seriously, my Cuisinart was starting to smoke.. not good.
I didnโt have a problem, but feel free to add a little bit of oil if you need to. You donโt want your food processor to smoke:)
the list of foods this would enhance is absolutely endless. delightful creation, maria!
What a great idea!
Ooooโฆthat looks good enough to just eat it out of the bowl! I love that you roasted the almonds firstโฆI love to roast or toast nuts when I use them. I really does bring out the flavor and makes everything even more tasty!
I only wish my almond butter turned out the same, http://athriftyfoodie.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/almond-butter-modified/,
it still tasted delicious but yours looks divine!
I was curious whether you like using a food processor or a Blendtec blender for making nut butters.
I use both!
