Almond butter –Hey there, nut lovers! Are you tired of those overpriced jars of almond butter that taste like they’ve been sitting on the shelf since the last ice age? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to dive into making your very own homemade almond butter! Not only is it super easy, but it’s also way tastier than anything you can find at the store. Plus, you can show off to your friends and be the coolest nut around!

Homemade Almond Butter

Get ready for a buttery ride. This almond butter is so creamy and dreamy, you might just want to eat it straight from the jar!

Homemade Almond Butter in a jar

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • Pinch of salt (because you need a little personality)
  • A drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional, if you like it sweet)
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional, for that extra creaminess)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) because we want those almonds to be toast-ally awesome.
  2. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast them for about 10-12 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Don’t wander off—this is a nut job that requires your full attention!
  3. Allow the almonds to cool for a few minutes. We don’t want to end up with burnt fingers, do we?
  4. Once cooled, toss those almonds into a food processor. Get ready to unleash their inner creamy goodness! Process them until they break down into almond meal, and keep going until it starts to look smooth and buttery. You might need to pause every now and then to scrape down the sides, so your food processor doesn’t get a complex.
  5. If desired, add a pinch of salt, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and coconut oil. Blend until you reach that dreamy, creamy texture that makes you want to dip your face in it.
  6. Transfer your homemade almond butter to a jar or container, and try to resist the urge to eat it all in one sitting. It’s going to be hard, but you can do it!

And there you have it! Your very own homemade almond butter. Spread it on toast, dip fruit in it, or just eat it straight from the jar like the nutty champion you are. Enjoy!
