Making your own almond butter is really simple to do. The only ingredient you need is almonds! A lot of times the store-bought nut butters have extra oils and sugar in them. Not to mention they can be pretty pricey! This is a lightly roasted almond butter that tastes delicious on things like a bowl of oats and banana.
You do not need to soak your almonds beforehand. All you do is spread the almonds on a baking sheet, place in oven for 10 minutes, turning them after 5 minutes. Then let cool before blending. You can blend them in a food processor or a good blender like the Vitamix. The process takes a little longer in the food processor, and you'll need to scrape the sides. In a high speed blender it only takes about 5 minutes. Once it has blended to a smooth and creamy texture, transfer the almond butter to a glass jar. You can store it in a glass jar in the refrigerator up to a month.
