Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (optional, such as avocado or canola oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through. This will enhance the flavor and make them easier to blend. Allow the almonds to cool for 5 minutes after roasting.
Transfer the roasted almonds to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on high speed for 8-10 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula. The almonds will go through stages: first turning into a crumbly mixture, then clumping together, and finally becoming smooth and creamy.
Once the almond butter has reached your desired consistency, add the honey, salt, and optional oil. Blend again for 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Taste the almond butter and adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired by adding more honey or salt. Blend again briefly if additional ingredients are added.
Transfer the honey almond butter to an airtight glass jar or container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Enjoy your Honey Almond Butter with toast, fruit, smoothies, or as a wholesome snack!
