Learn how to make almond butter at home for a more economical and customizable option than store-bought! All you need is 1 ingredient and about 10 minutes. Spread it on toast, drizzle it on oatmeal, add it to baking, and more!
Roast: Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and spread the almonds out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for about 10 minutes, or until they're golden and fragrant. Make sure to stir or shake them around halfway. Let them cool a bit before blending.
Blend: Add the nuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend them for about 10 minutes until you have a smooth paste. You may need to pause occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure all the almonds are evenly processed and to give your blender a break. Continue blending until the almonds fully release their oils and turn into rich, creamy butter.
Flavor: You can add an optional pinch of sea salt or a few tablespoons of oil until it reaches your preferred consistency. At this point, you could also add any flavoring you'd like to your homemade almond butter (see flavor ideas below!)
