DIY ALMOND BUTTER
Here’s how to make all natural nut butters at home. Less expensive, easy to make, fast and delicious, simple to customize with no artificial ingredients!
Equipment
- food processor or high speed blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups dry roasted almonds unsalted
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grapeseed, coconut or organic canola
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225°.
- Place almonds on a baking sheet and pop them into the oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes. This warms the oils and make them easier to blend. But keep an eye on them because burned nuts are bitter nuts and the people who eat bitter nuts become bitter nuts themselves.
- Place the warmed almonds in the food processor and take them for a whirl. Process, scraping down the sides frequently with a spatula. If the nuts seem so dry they’re not blending add one teaspoon of oil at a time until it comes together.
- When the butter is creamy to your liking, add a pinch of salt and blend it in. If it seems a little liquid it’s because it’s warm, just pop it in the fridge.
Notes
Diva Tip – Use melted coconut oil for a great flavor twist. You can also add honey in place of oil.
Make small batches. There won’t be any preservatives so you’ll need to keep your nutty butter in the fridge and use it fairly quickly.
