Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil or almond oil (optional, for smoother texture)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread almonds on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway, until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Let almonds cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a food processor. Process for 5-10 minutes, scraping down sides as needed, until smooth and creamy.
- Add salt and any optional sweetener or oil. Process briefly to combine.
- Transfer to a jar and let cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- For a crunchy almond butter, reserve a handful of almonds, chop them, and stir in after processing.
- If your food processor gets hot, let it rest for a few minutes to avoid overheating.
- The butter will thicken as it cools; stir in a little oil if too thick.
