I've been wanting to make Grain Free Pumpkin Bars, but balked at the cost of organic almond butter. When I learned (on the same website as the recipe) how easy it was to make your own, I did!

I bought about 2 lbs (appx 5 cups) of raw almonds for just under 10 dollars. Three cups of almonds made 16 oz (2 cups) of almond butter.  I made almond flour with the remaining 2 cups. I lost track of how much flour that actually made, but it was definitely over 2 cups. It was possibly over 3.

I definitely saved some money. And I know exactly what is in it. Win-win.

So, tomorrow I plan to make the pumpkin bars aaand maybe these. My sister and nephew are eager to try so they can be my guinea pigs :)
