Ingredients
3 cups (432 grams) raw almonds
a pinch sea salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
Spread almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until fragrant and lightly toasted. Let cool for 5 minutes until warm but not hot.
Ensure the food processor bowl, blade, and spatula are completely dry before starting.
Add the warm roasted almonds to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
Scrape down the sides and bottom as needed for even processing. Pause occasionally if the machine becomes warm. Processing may take 7 to 20 minutes depending on the appliance.
The almonds will progress through several stages: coarse crumbs, wet sand, thick paste, and finally smooth almond butter.
Once smooth, add a pinch of sea salt if desired and pulse briefly to combine. Spoon into clean jars for storage.
Notes
Do not add liquids to the almond butter or it may seize.
If adding sweeteners, use dry sweeteners only.
Store almond butter in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Stir before serving if natural oil separation occurs.
