Ingredients
- 3 cups almonds
- 1 tablespoon almond oil(optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 F.
- In a baking sheet, layer the almonds and place in the oven for five minutes.
- The almonds should feel warm if you touch them after five minutes.
- Now take the almonds in a food processor and process until a coarse meal is formed.
- Stop and scrape down the sides and process again.
- You need to repeat the scraping step many times during the process.
- Once the mixture starts to look smooth, add the oil.
- Process until the mixture is creamy and shiny because of the oil released from the almonds.
- Your almond butter is ready unless you don’t want to add any flavoring agent.
- If you want to add any flavoring agents such as maple syrup, honey, spices or cocoa powder, add at this point.
- Pulse again and your flavored almond butter is ready.
Notes
- Adding flavoring agents will decrease the shelf life of the nut butter.
- The entire process may take 15-25 minutes, depending on the type of food processor you are using.
- You can also use a high-speed blender like Vitamix for this process.
