I love almond butter on apples, in smoothies, used in cookies and so much more! Before, we bought it in the store and because we got the organic kind, it was pretty expensive. Little did I know how easy making your own almond butter is! You really only need one ingredient and a little patience! Now that I have made my own, and tasted it's amazingness, I will probably never go back to store bought!
So let's make some homemade almond butter!
Ingredients:
3 cups Sliced Almonds ( If you don't have sliced you can use whole and just roast them for a tiny bit longer)
Optional: Salt.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread out the almonds on a baking sheet that has sides so the almonds won't slip off. Roasted them for 5-8 minutes (Or longer if using whole almonds)
When they are done they will have browned and the kitchen will smell amazing!
Next, place them in a food processor with a pinch of salt and blend for about 15 to 20 minutes.( if you are using whole you might need longer)
At first you will get a grainy like mixture (this is almond flour!) but keep going and it will turned into butter.
When it is done it will look nice and creamy and smooth! Pour it into a glass jar and take a spoonful to try it! Delicious!
The end result is about a cup of yummy almond butter, perfect for eating with apples, on a sandwich or in some cookies!
