Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (450g) raw, unsalted almonds
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool slightly before processing.
- Place the almonds in the food processor. Process continuously until the almonds break down into a coarse crumb. This will take a few minutes.
- Continue processing. The crumbs will start to clump together and form a thick, sticky dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed with a spatula.
- Keep processing! The dough will eventually release its oils and transform into a smooth, creamy butter. This may take another 10-15 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently.
- Once the almond butter is smooth, taste it. If you prefer a thinner consistency, continue processing for a few more minutes.
- Transfer the almond butter to an airtight jar or container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
