Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the raw almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the almonds for 10-12 minutes, stirring once or twice to ensure even roasting. They should be slightly golden and fragrant.
- Allow the roasted almonds to cool for a few minutes until warm but not hot.
- Transfer the roasted almonds to a food processor.
- Blend the almonds continuously, scraping down the sides as needed, until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This can take 10-15 minutes, depending on your desired texture.
- If the almond butter seems too dry or thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of light olive oil to help achieve the desired consistency.
- Transfer the almond butter to a clean, airtight container.
- Store the almond butter in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
- Spread your homemade almond butter on toast, use it in smoothies, baking, or enjoy it straight from the spoon!
