Almond Butter, No Processor, No Problem

IMG_20130629_240502_806.jpgThis is for those who don't have a food processor, but happen to have a COFFEE BEAN GRINDER lying around.  The inspiration for this came from grinding all kinds of grains in my coffee grinder for baby food.  Thought I should at least brag a little about the fact that I didn't have to buy a single jar of "baby food."  Anyway...let the butter making begin!  

Ingredients:
1 cup of raw almonds 3 tbs of coconut oil (liquified) 1 1/2 tbs of honey
salt??? No salt, trust me.
MAKES 1 CUP, TIME : 10 - 20 min
As you know, food processors can operate for longer periods of time without burning the motor out, and good old coffee bean grinders require a user to pulse the motor for short periods of time.  In a food processor the almonds would churn long enough to produce their own oils. That being said, do not burn your coffee bean grinder motor out, and if you follow these instructions, you should be fine.

Pour into a bowl.
