How to make Almond Butter
Description
This method starts by roasting plain, unsalted raw almonds in a 350°F oven, stirring occasionally to ensure even toasting without burning. Roasting for 10 to 15 minutes deepens the almonds' flavor and softens them for processing.
After cooling slightly, the almonds are processed in a food processor, poured in handfuls through the chute. The almonds break down first into a meal and continue processing until releasing oils and becoming creamy almond butter. The time varies but requires patience to achieve the smooth texture.
Optional additions include sea salt for seasoning, cinnamon for warmth, or honey/maple syrup for sweetness, enhancing the spread's flavor profile.
This recipe yields about 1¾ cups of almond butter and does not require added oils, relying on the almonds' natural fats.
Ingredients
- 1 pound almond plain, unsalted, raw
- salt optional, sea salt
- cinnamon optional
- honey or maple syrup, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread the almonds in a single layer, and bake for 10-15 minutes, mixing them around a couple of times during roasting.
- With the motor running on your food processor, pour handfuls at a time through the food chute. It will look a lot like almond meal first up. Keep going!
Notes
- The recipe produces approximately 1¾ cups of almond butter from 1 pound of raw almonds.
