Ingredients
- 3 cups raw almonds
- 0.25 teaspoons salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Spread the raw almonds in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the almonds in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to over-toast them.
Step 4
Allow the almonds to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes after roasting.
Step 5
Transfer the almonds to a high-speed blender or a food processor.
Step 6
Blend on high speed, pausing every 1-2 minutes to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
Step 7
Continue blending for about 10-15 minutes. The almonds will go through stages: crumbly, powdery, clumpy, and finally smooth and creamy.
Step 8
If desired, add a pinch of salt, and blend again for a few seconds to incorporate.
Step 9
Once the almond butter reaches your desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight jar or container.
Step 10
Store the almond butter at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Stir before serving if oils naturally separate.
