Homemade Almond Butter







You need:

350 g of almonds 
Salt to taste 


Instructions:
 
Preheat your oven to 170°C. 

Line a baking tray and spread the almonds on it. Make sure to use the whole space of your baking tray. Once the oven is heated up pop in your almonds and let them bake for 7-8 minutes. 

Take them out of the oven and let them cool out slightly before you tranfer them into your food processor. 

Depending on the type and strength of your food processor, this is where your trial of patience begins. BUT be patient and hang in there... it's worth it! Now all you need to do is blend until your almonds transform into almond meal and finally into almond butter. 

It is important to keep going and don't stop before it is all nice and smooth. You may have to stop every now and then, stirr and give your blender a moment to breathe. Lastly you add salt to your taste and blend it in. (I always use himalayan sea salt, because it's a lot healthier than regular salt) 

You can use this recipe for any other nut butters, although you may have to vary the times in the oven a little. But mostly 7-8 minutes is the best. 

Enjoy!!
