Almond Butter
Homemade almond butter is easy to make with a simple tool that’s worth keeping around in your kitchen. While this recipe calls for a food processor, a blender can also get the job done.
Keeping bulk raw almonds around the kitchen is also great for use in other recipes such as salads or baked goods.
And if you have a friend or family member who has a peanut allergy, this is a cost-effective solution for making substitutions with almond butter!
Ingredients
Almond Butter
- 3 c. Sliced, raw almonds
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. honey or maple syrup (optional)
Directions
- First, add the almonds and salt to the food processor and blend on high.
- Once the almonds are ground to a fine meal, add the honey if you are using it. Otherwise, continue blending in the food processor.
- It will take several minutes, but eventually the heat from mixing will blend the almonds into a smooth, buttery texture, much like natural peanut or almond butter that is sold at grocery stores.
- Remove mixture from the food processor with a rubber spatula and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Keep this creamy spread around for adding to oatmeal or baked goods!
