Equipment
- Magimix food processor *affiliate link
Ingredients
- 3 cups raw almonds (420g)
- ½ tsp sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Add the almonds to a large baking tray and bake for about 8-10 minutes, taking out halfway through to give them a shake. You want them slightly toasted but not too dark.
- Leave to cool slightly. Add them to a food processor with the salt, if using. Blend until the nuts are in small pieces. Stop and scape down the sides of the food processor.
- Continue to blend until they turn into a smooth butter (you will have to stop and scrape down the sides of the processor every so often). The whole process will take 5-6 minutes.
- Once completely smooth and runny, pour into a sterilised jar.
Notes
- For best results, and to last longer, store in the fridge.
- I recommend adding the salt for optimum flavour.
- To sterilise the jar before using, see the tip above.
- If you prefer crunchy almond butter, take out a couple of tbsp of chopped nuts after step 2 and stir them back in at the end.
