Start with raw almonds. To bring out their delicious flavor, roast them in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10 to 12 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they smell great and look a little brown. Roasting helps make your almond butter taste even better!
Once your almonds are roasted, it’s time to blend them. Put the almonds in a blender or food processor. To make your almond butter extra tasty, you can add a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of honey, or a splash of vanilla extract. These ingredients will enhance the flavor and make your almond butter delicious.
As you blend the almonds, you’ll need to stop every now and then to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor. This helps make sure all the almonds are blended evenly. Keep blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy. It might take a little while, but the result will be worth it!
