Notes
Natural almond butter does not have added sweetener. The only ingredients should be almonds, oil, and salt.
If your almond butter has added salt, leave out the salt from the recipe ingredients. After you stir together the batter, you can salt to taste. I would start with 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon.
