HOMEMADE ALMOND BUTTER
This homemade almond butter couldn't be easier and beats store-bought by a mile. Roasting the almonds gives it an unbelievably rich and toasted flavor. The amount of honey we specify adds a luscious hint of sweetness, but you can always leave it out or add more depending on your taste.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Transfer the almonds to a food processor and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then process until it is a smooth paste, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and continue to process until combined. With the machine still running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons oil. Thin if desired with the remaining tablespoon oil.
CHOCOLATE-ALMOND BUTTER CUPS
Almond butter is a staple in my pantry and in my diet. It's high in protein, easy to tote around, and so, so good. Here, it serves as the primary ingredient in a perfect little bite-size dessert that is a much healthier take on our favorite name-brand treats.

Steps:
- Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt, and coconut flour until well combined; a smooth, thickish paste should form. Cover and chill in the refrigerator or freezer until thickened; 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and roll into a log. Break into 24 equal pieces and mold each piece into a flat disk slightly smaller than the cups in the muffin pan. Set aside.
- Melt together the chocolate chips and coconut oil over a double boiler or in a microwave in 10-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Drop a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each of the prepared cups, and shake/tap the pan to create a smooth, even layer.
- Place the disks of filling on top of the chocolate, and top with the remaining chocolate. Tap to eliminate air bubbles.
- Sprinkle with the flaky salt and freeze until set. Let come to room temperature before serving.
