Recipe Overview

Servings: About 24 tablespoons

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups almonds (roasted or raw, depending on preference)

Pink Himalayan salt or sea salt, to taste

Optional Add-Ins (for extra flavor and variety!)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (for warmth and depth of flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a subtle sweetness)

1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (for an ultra-creamy consistency)

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for a chocolatey twist)

Step-by-Step Instructions

If Using Raw Almonds:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for roasting the almonds.

Spread Almonds Evenly: Arrange the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.

Roast Until Fragrant: Bake for about 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning. Roasting enhances the natural oils in the almonds, bringing out a deeper, nuttier flavor.

Cool the Almonds: Allow the roasted almonds to cool slightly before blending. This prevents overheating the food processor and ensures a smoother consistency.

Blending the Almonds into Butter

Process the Almonds: Place the almonds into a high-powered food processor or blender. Blend on high speed for about 4-5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The almonds will gradually go through different stages:

At first, they will become a coarse meal.

Then, they will form a thick, dough-like consistency.

Finally, the natural oils will release, turning the mixture into a smooth, creamy almond butter.

Adjust Texture as Desired: If you prefer chunky almond butter, stop blending sooner. For ultra-smooth almond butter, continue processing for a few more minutes. If needed, you can add a small amount of coconut oil to make it even creamier.

Seasoning & Storing Your Almond Butter

Enhance the Flavor: Once the almond butter reaches your preferred consistency, add a pinch of Himalayan salt (or sea salt) to taste. You can also mix in any of the optional add-ins like cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor. Pulse the mixture briefly to combine everything evenly.

Transfer to a Storage Container: Scoop the almond butter into a wide-mouth, airtight glass jar or any other sealed container to preserve freshness.

Storage Recommendations:

At Room Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.

In the Refrigerator: Keep for up to 6 months to extend shelf life and maintain freshness.
