Homemade Almond Butter

I don’t buy almond butter. I make it myself which is a cheaper and more natural alternative. It’s also pretty simple.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 cups whole almonds (You’ll end up with about a cup of butter)

Sea Salt, to taste (optional)

Blender or food processer (I use a NutriBullet)

Time

Start by grinding almonds.

Blend again, and push down the sides. If you are adding salt, you can pour it in now. Let your almond mixture sit for a few minutes, giving the almonds a chance to release their natural oils. Keep blending, scraping, and sitting, until the almond meal turns into a paste, and finally, almond butter.
