Description
Skip the store-bought stuff and make this delicious Homemade Almond Butter with just one simple ingredient. It's so much easier than you'd expect. You just need some freshly toasted whole almonds and a high-power food processor to blend them smooth. This creamy homemade almond butter is endlessly customizable, too!
Ingredients
- 3 cups raw almonds (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Add and spread almonds in a single layer on a large parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add almonds to a food blender. Pulse mix for 1 minute and stop, allowing the blender to cool down. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender to mix evenly. Blend in 1-minute increments until creamy and smooth, about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of mixing, the almonds will turn from lumpy into a desired consistency.
- Optionally, add avocado oil and pulse mix for 1 minute to help dilute a bit.
- Transfer the almond butter into an airtight container. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
How to store: Store the leftover almond butter in an airtight container, like a glass jar, at room temperature for about a week or in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Freezing? For best results, don't freeze your homemade almond butter. This can affect the texture and cause the oil to separate out too much.
