Tired of spending a small fortune on almond butter or other nut butters? Take control and make your own delicious, dairy-free spread at home with just a few simple ingredients, an oven, and a food processor. Follow these easy steps and enjoy your homemade almond butter in no time!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the cooled almonds to a food processor and process until they become a smooth and creamy butter. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
- Add the salt and honey or maple syrup (if using) and process again until well combined.
- Transfer the almond butter to a clean glass jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can roast the almonds with the skins on. Just be sure to remove the skins before processing them in the food processor.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a high-powered blender to make almond butter. Just be sure to blend the almonds in short bursts to avoid overheating the blender.
- Almond butter is a versatile spread that can be used in a variety of ways. Enjoy it on toast, crackers, or fruit, or add it to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
