This homemade almond butter is rich, creamy, and made with just roasted almonds and a pinch of sea salt. Perfect for spreading, baking, or adding to smoothies and oatmeal.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (432 grams) raw almonds
  • a pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Ensure the food processor bowl, blade, and spatula are completely dry before starting.
  4. Add the warm roasted almonds to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. 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.
  6. The almonds will progress through several stages: coarse crumbs, wet sand, thick paste, and finally smooth almond butter.
  7. 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.
