This Homemade Almond Butter is creamy, ready in less than 5 minutes, and requires just one ingredient!
If you ask my husband, my typical go-to breakfast is toast with almond butter. It never gets old. I am definitely a creature of habit. But, with how expensive nut butters are these days, I wanted to find a cheaper way to get my butter fix.
Learning how to make almond butter at home is one of the easiest ways to keep healthy staples on hand, and save your budget!
Spread it on your favorite toast or add to baked goods and smoothies. Better yet, enjoy it by the spoonful!
Today I’m going to teach you how quick and simple it is to make almond butter in your own home that doesn’t have any added fillers or sugar. This recipe is as easy as it gets!
With no additional ingredients, besides nuts, you can’t go wrong. Simple is always better!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED FOR HOMEMADE ALMOND BUTTER?
2 cups of almonds (raw or roasted)
The best part about making homemade almond butter is that you can customize it to your tastes. You can add in anything you desire! Vanilla extract, cinnamon, coconut, maybe a dash or two of cocoa powder!
HOW DO I CREATE HOMEMADE ALMOND BUTTER?
STEP 1: Place the almonds in a food processor. Secure the lid and allow to process for about 1 minute or until almonds are broken down.
I allow the almonds to rest for a few minutes, in order for the oils release.
STEP 2: Process again for 2-3 minutes, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed throughout the process.
The almond butter is ready when the resulting consistency is very smooth and creamy.
If you’ve never made homemade nut butter, make this one. And be sure to try it in my Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Rice Crispy Bars and Freezer Maple Almond Fudge.
