Roasted almond butter is fast becoming one of my favorite nut butters. It is packed with an intense roasted aroma, but its flavor is rich and delicate. It’s great on toast or crackers with a touch of honey. I think, however, that the roasted almond flavor can be overpowered if you put too much fruit jam or jelly on it. In this recipe you can start with roasted almonds or roast them yourself at home. If you choose to do it yourself, place the almonds on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
Roasted Almond Butter
Print recipeIngredients
- 1 Pound Almonds (roasted & unsalted)
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
Note
If you buy almonds that are already salted, leave the salt out of this recipe.
Directions
|
Place almonds and salt into food processor and start machine. Initially the the almonds will be dry. As the almonds release their oil they will come together. |  |
|
After several minutes the almonds will form a ball. Let the food processor continue to run. The ball will eventually turn into a creamy consistency. |  |
|
As more oil is released the almonds will become creamy. The almond butter is done when it gets a shiny surface and has a looser texture then regular almond butter. This will take between 6 and 8 minutes. |  |
|
Place almond butter in airtight container and store in refrigerator. Allow 24 - 48 hours for almond butter to thicken. |  |
