This homemade almond butter is creamy, ready in under 5 minutes, and only requires one ingredient!
If you ask my husband, my typical grab-and-go breakfast is toast with almond butter. It never gets old. I’m definitely a creature of habit. But since nut butter is so expensive these days, I wanted to find a cheaper way to fix my butter.
Learning how to make almond butter at home is one of the easiest ways to keep healthy staples on hand and easy on your budget!
Spread 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 easy it is to make almond butter at home with no added fillers or sugar. This recipe is as easy as it gets!
With no additional ingredients other than nuts, you can’t go wrong. Simple is always better!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED FOR HOMEMADE ALMOND BUTTER?
2 cups almonds (raw or toasted)
The best part about making homemade almond butter is that you can customize it to your liking. You can add anything you want! 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 process for about 1 minute or until the almonds have broken down.
I let the almonds sit for a few minutes to allow the oils to dissolve.
STEP 2: Repeat the process for 2-3 minutes, stopping and scraping 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 butters, make these. And be sure to try it in my Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Rice Crispy Bars and Freezer Maple Almond Fudge.
