This butter is SO good! And, as you'd expect, it's much better than a store-bought version!

To make this recipe I used dry roasted unsalted almonds; and you definitely need whole almonds because you need their natural oils to help make the butter. I added a little sea salt after the butter had blended, and that's all! Just two ingredients!

How to Make Homemade Almond Butter

Add the almonds to a blender - you'll need something quite powerful and my Ninja is perfect! There are three key stages that you'll go through:

1. Almond flour - but keep going!
2. Sticky almond flour - but keep going!
3. Almond butter

Depending on your blender, it could take up to 15 minutes to make the butter. Once it's made, add the salt, half a teaspoon at a time until it tastes right.

Store the butter in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two months.

Here are some uses for your homemade almond butter:
