Equipment
- Ovenproof tray
- Baking parchment
- Food processor
- Spatula
- Empty jar
Ingredients
- 250 g organic almonds
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4.
- Prepare Almonds: Cover an ovenproof tray with baking parchment and spread the almonds out in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Roast Almonds: Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Shake the tray to turn the almonds, then roast for another 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Process Almonds: Transfer the almonds to a food processor with a pinch of sea salt. Process on the highest setting for around 10 minutes. Periodically stop to scrape down the sides of the processor with a spatula.
- Monitor Consistency: The almonds will go through various stages: from solid to a ball, then to a thick liquid. Continue processing until a thin layer of oil rises to the top, indicating that the almonds have released their natural oils and the butter is ready.
- Store: Pour the almond butter into an empty jar and store it in the fridge. Enjoy scraping the remains off the side of the food processor as a tasty treat!
Notes
- Almond butter can be used in a variety of recipes, from smoothies to baking, or simply spread on apple slices for a healthy snack.
- Experiment with adding a touch of honey or cinnamon to your almond butter for a flavour twist.
- This recipe can be adapted for other nuts like cashews or hazelnuts.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I live in Kuala Lumpur and just can not find Almond Butter so can not wait to try this. Do you know roughly how long it will keep in the fridge?
Terima Kasih (thank you in Malay :))

Been looking for this – perfect 🙂 How long will it keep in the fridge?
Would it still work if I was to add some raw cacao powder to this and make a “nutella” like substitute?
Hi! Just wanted to say thank you – this stuff is liquid heaven. I've made nut butters before but they've always turned out below average – this is AMAZING!! I realise now that in the past I haven't been processing the nuts for long enough – what a difference!! Thanks again!
