Can I make almond butter using the soup cycle? I have the designer series. Thanks! :)
Can I make almond butter using the soup cycle? I have the designer series. If so, I wish you had a recipe for it listed for instruction purposes. That’s one of the main reason’s why I bought it was to make nut butters. :)
I just purchased the 625 model. What is the wildside jar?
This is my ONLY small complaint about Blendtec. I do love my blender and I don’t have any regrets, however, I just made almond butter with my Blendtec Wildside Designer. I will admit that the Vitamix makes it look a little easier. You do have to work some to make nut butter. BUT with that being said I was able to get a creamy nut butter. Not Jif creamy but creamy and it is a heck of a lot more nutritious and it tastes really really good.
It’s best to roast your almonds. It gives more flavor and makes them softer. If you soak them you have to dry them out afterwards so you can’t make it right away. One thing I think I should’ve done is let them cool some before putting them in the blender. They warmed up sooner. That was probably a "no brainer". lol. I started off with the lowest manual setting then once I was in mid-speed, I scraped the sides and I added salt, a tiny bit of honey, and some avocado oil. Then slowly progressed up to the highest setting. The blender did start sounding really loud at that point. I don’t know if it’s because I tried many different ways that the noise eventually gave me a headache or if the highest cycle is indeed that loud. I will find out next time. :) NOTE: My Blendtec did not overheat at all during the whole entire process. I believe I scraped the sides about 5-6 times but like I said I was also trying different pre-settings as well. One last thing. It doesn’t always look like the almonds are blending but just let it go anyways. Wait about 40 secs then check it. Now that I know what to do next time it will be easy peasy! Enjoy. ;) ♥
