Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°. Spread the almonds on a large cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, flipping at 5 minutes.
- Remove and cool for 10 minutes.
- Place the almonds in a food processor with the salt and process on high for 10 - 15 minutes, scraping the sides occasionally.
- The almonds will need time to break down and become butter. It will seem coarse and powdery for a little while until finally it becomes butter. Usually within 15 minutes maximum.
- If you like a little creamier butter, add some coconut oil (or other), a little at a time.
- After it has made a nice creamy butter, you can sweeten or flavor your almond butter with a little maple syrup, honey, vanilla or cinnamon.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Makes 16 oz of almond butter
- Tips:To make almond butter you will need a good food processor or a high quality blender.Why roast the almonds? It gives the almond butter a really great flavor, and warm almonds grind easier and release their oil faster.Patience is the key. Almonds take some time to break down and for the oils to come out and start making the butter.Use almond butter in your baking, smoothie bowls, on toast or bananas. So many options!Allow the almond butter to cool completely before placing the lid on and refrigerating.
- Storage:Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.Freezing is not recommended.
