Description
A delightful and nutritious spread that elevates your morning toast, smoothies, and snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden and fragrant.
- Allow the almonds to cool for a few minutes to prevent overheating the food processor.
- Transfer the cooled almonds to a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 10-15 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary until you achieve a smooth, creamy butter.
- If desired, add salt and your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup) to the food processor. Blend again until evenly combined. Transfer your homemade almond butter to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
For a nutty flavor, lightly toast the almonds before blending. If too thick, add a small amount of neutral oil.
