Ingredients
-
3 cups (474 g)raw almonds
Make your own
Directions
- Place the almonds onto a baking tray and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)*.
- Toast in the oven for 9 - 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and fragrant**. Allow the almonds to cool slightly, though not completely.
- Add the toasted almonds to a high-powered food processor (ideally 900W or higher)***.
- Start processing the almonds at high speed. After a minute or two, the almonds will turn into a coarse meal.
- When the almonds start to stick together, stop the processor and scrape down the sides with a spatula.
- Continue processing for at least 7 - 10 minutes****. The almonds will go through several stages: from meal, to a dough-like ball, and finally to smooth almond butter.
- Let the mixture cool, then store it in a jar. Enjoy!
Notes
- * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).
- ** The almonds will continue to "bake" even when removed from the oven, so be careful not to overcook.
- *** Use a food processor and not a blender for this. If the mixture heats up, let it rest to cool slightly so as to not damage your food processor.
- **** If your food processor isn't very powerful, blend for an additional 5 minutes to achieve the desired consistency. You can also add a bit of neutral-tasting oil to help the process along.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container or mason jar in a cool, dry, and dark place for up to 1 month.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Excelenta! Eu am folosit Thermomix TM6 pentru a macina. Timpul, pentru 400g , este de 1 min 30 la viteza 10 (in reprize de câte 30 de secunde si curățare pereți vas între reprize), apoi alte 30 de secunde la viteza 4 pentru omogenizare. E delicioasa pe felii de mere!
This did not work very well for me, even with a good food processor. I had to stop mixing at one point because I feared my neighbours would ring my door. 😅
my old food processor got it to powder but wasn't getting the oils out, so I gave my nutribullet (600w) a chance and it worked! perhaps the motor strained a bit... but I think it's fine 😗 yum yum
Mine did not work sadly. I hava an Ninja food processor 850 Watt, i bleded it pretty long (more then 15-20 minutes) but I only got a powder consistency, nut "buttery" like yours. I added water to it but it was not very good. Do I need to add oil and how much? I don't want to eat too much oil. Or I should I try something else? Or another nut? I would love to hear from you!
It’s perfect!! The difference between store bought and homemade was bigger than I’d have expected.
Everybody loves it, never buying almond butter again. This recipe is so simple and the result is just amazing.
Can I use peanuts to substitute for the almonds? And what types of peanuts should I use??
This is so tasty! I would love to make homemade peanut butter too, do you think this recipe could be used for that but just replace almonds with peanuts? 😊
I made with great northern beans and agave nectar. Delicious! Thanks!
Hi! I made it and it was perfect!
I tried addind honey twice but the texture is sticky. Are there any tips for an almond butter with honey? Tks!!!
Hi! I'm an old YouTube fan but new here on the app. loving everything here.
1 question: do I blend the nuts cold or hot after roasting? thanks!
I think my oven wasn't hot enough for something, because I roasted for 7 minutes but they weren't as fragrant as I expected and my almond butter kind of tastes like raw almond butter. My instincts were to roast for longer, but I saw the note about the almonds continuing to "bake" after taking them out of the oven, so I didn't. I'm eager to try this again with a 10 minute roasting time!
My favorite nut butter :)
It is so easy to make and delicious, I absolutely love it!
Love it
Wow well worth making. Tastes so good
I’ve probably made this at least 10 times so far and it’s my favorite nut butter!!
I am so impressed with how easy this is, and how homemade almond butter makes such a difference!
Extra recipe! I can't wait to use butter for delicious bread tomorrow morning! Thank You! ❤️
I found your recipes so inspirational and trully amazing, I cannot wait to give it a go this almond butter tomorrow :) yipeee!
Hi! This was my very first try at this recipe and it turned out perfect!! It was amazing to see how the almonds turned into powder, and then to this thick & rich paste. Can't wait to try the other recipes using this!
Can you link recipes that use this homemade almond butter! It is delicious!
Hello, I just done m'y peanut butter. It's so tasty and it feel way more natural. It was pretty long in the good processor. I'm always afraid to break m'y food processor. Did you ever break yours doing this ?
So wonderful. I'm so inspired by the recipe. Tomorrow I'm surely going to make almond butter. Thanks Pickup Limes
Delicious and so easy to make! Will never buy almond butter from a shop again. Thank you. 😊😊
Loved it, my toddler loved it with her banana!!! ❤️
I make it every week! Love the recipe ❤️
Thanks a lot I think I ll try this receipe, it easy to understand.
This recipe inspired me to try making nut butter for the first time. I under roasted them a bit in the first batch so it didn’t have the strongest flavor, but the second batch was just right! My partner and I couldn’t get enough. So surprised how easy it was!
I blended my almond butter seemed like forever and it never got to the runny stage. I started out in the food processor then switched to the blender because it was taking so long. Any suggestion? Taste really good, I added cinnamon and vanilla..
Such a simple and amazing recipe!
Oh my god this website is so amazing, crafted with love !
Never would have thought that making almond butter was so easy. I don't buy it anymore. Thank you so much for this recipe!
This almond butter is so beautiful, creamy, and tasty!
Dear PUL team - do you have any suggestions for the almond butter if we don't have a food processor, but an ordinary blender? :(
Will the almond butter separate like when purchased at the market?
I love this recipe and always come to it to make almond butter. More people should!
