    Why this recipe works

    • Made with one ingredient!
    • Takes 10 minutes to make!
    • Cheaper than store-bought!
    • Easy to make your own by adding salt and spices!

    Ingredients

    Almonds- use any type of almonds that you like the most, you can use raw almonds, salted almonds, etc.

    Food processor- if you don’t own a high-speed blender, don’t worry! You can use your food processor, it will probably take a bit longer to blend, but you can get the same result without needing to buy an expensive blender.

    High-speed blender- we like to use our Vitamix blender, but you can use your favorite high-speed blender that you own.

    How to roast almonds

    For this recipe, you can use roasted almonds or raw almonds, we like to make homemade almond butter with roasted almonds.

    The almond roasting process is super quick and easy, all you need to do is to preheat an oven to 190c (375f), spread an even layer of the raw almonds on a baking sheet, and bake the almonds for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

    Then let the almonds cool to room temperature for about 5-10 minutes.

    The roasting process releases the natural oil of the almonds and makes the process of blending way faster and easier.

    Make it in a Vitamix

    If you own a Vitamix blender, you’re in luck! Vitamix blender makes making homemade almond butter so much easier! It usually takes up to 1 minute to make homemade almond butter in a Vitamix.

    Making homemade almond butter with raw almonds

    If you’re using raw almonds for this recipe, as we prefer as well, you will need to follow two steps:

    If you don’t want to roast your almonds, you will need to add a little bit of natural oil, we suggest adding avocado oil or olive oil.

    To roast the raw almonds, preheat an oven to 190c (375f), spread an even layer of the raw almonds on a baking sheet, and bake the almonds for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

    Instructions

    Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Spread the almonds evenly over the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes stirring halfway through.

    How long does this last?

    This nut butter will last for up to 2 months stored in an airtight container in the fridge or up to 6 months stored in an airtight freezer-friendly container.

    My almond butter doesn’t come together, what should I do?

    It can take a long time for your nut butter to come together, the only solution is to be patient.

    You will have to take breaks between each blend so you won’t burn your food processor. The key to this recipe is to be patient, you will see results and you will get creamy butter.

    How to make this but butter creamier?

    If you like creamier butter, simply process it for longer until you get the right consistency.

    Storing

    After making the butter, let it cool completely to room temperature. Then place it in an airtight container like a glass jar. Store it in the fridge for up to 2 months.

    Freezing

    Transfer the nut butter into an airtight freezer-friendly container and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

    Variations

    Spices- add your favorite fall spices to this butter to add a delicious flavor like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin spice, etc.

    Salt- add some salt to your liking if you like salty almond butter!

    Crunchy- add ½ cup of chopped almonds to create crunchy almond butter.

    Sweetener- add maple syrup or honey to make this butter sweeter.

    Serving tips

    Our favorite way to serve almond butter is to spread it on whole-grain toast and spread a little bit of honey on top. Sometimes we like to add sliced bananas to our toast.

    Another way to serve this nut butter is as a dip! Cut a few apples, or veggies and dip them in the almond butter for a delicious healthy snack!
