Ingredients for Almond Butter

How to Make Almond Butter

  1. Add 2 cups of raw almonds to your food processor fitted with the 'S' blade.
  2. Process the almonds for 5-7 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, until a smooth, creamy butter forms.
  3. Taste and adjust as needed. If you prefer a smoother butter, process for a few more minutes.
  4. Transfer the almond butter to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  5. Enjoy your homemade almond butter on toast, in smoothies, or as a healthy snack!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
