Homemade Almond Butter
I do not add salt because there is so much flavor from the roasting process. Make sure your almond butter is completed cooled before sealing the jar. - Jenny Jones
Prep Time: 19 minutes
Cook Time: 11 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: One standard 16-ounce jar
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of raw almonds
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. (I do this is my toaster oven)
- Spread almonds onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for about 19 minutes, but start checking them at 15 minutes. Don't be afraid to toast them until they are well browned.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely. (this can be done a day in advance.)
- Place cooled almonds into a food processor and process for about 11 minutes. To prevent the processor over-heating, pause a couple of times to let it cool down.
- When the mixture is smooth and creamy, stir it up from the bottom and process another 15 seconds to mix it well.
- Let it cool completely and transfer into a clean glass jar. Cover and keep refrigerated.
