Notes
- I used refined coconut oil which doesn't have any coconut taste. If you use unrefined coconut oil, these may have some coconut taste to them.
- I used 3/16 teaspoon as I like things a little salty. If your almond butter is salted, add salt to taste.
- To roast almonds, place on a baking sheet and bake for 5-8 minutes at 350 °F (175 °C) until they smell toasty.
