Ingredients

• 3 cups Raw almonds
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 teaspoons Neutral oil (optional, such as avocado or coconut oil)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Spread the raw almonds evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

Toast the almonds in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 4

Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the warm almonds to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Step 6

Begin blending the almonds on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed. They will first turn into almond meal, then clump together, and finally transform into a smooth butter. This process can take 8-12 minutes depending on your blender or food processor.

Step 7

Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor to ensure everything is evenly blended.

Step 8

If the almond butter seems too thick or dry, add up to 1 teaspoon of neutral oil to help reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Once the almond butter is smooth, add sea salt to taste and blend again briefly to incorporate.

Step 10

Transfer the almond butter to an airtight glass jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
