Homemade Almond Butter Recipe

There is nothing like homemade almond butter – if you try and buy it in store it is priced insanely high.

Little do most people know it is SUPER SIMPLE to make – all you need is a blender or food processor.

One way I suggest cutting the costs of the almonds is buying the almonds in the bulk section you will need about 1.5 cups for this recipe

When I make this recipe for my dad I simply put the almond butter in a clean mason jar and it is good for well over a week ( it never lasts that long through 😉 )

Almond butter is a nice change from the normal peanut butter — it tastes much like peanut butter but with an almond flair

I have a homemade peanut butter recipe – check it out HERE

Both recipes are gluten – free 🙂

You are going to need almonds and a little salt. If you are having problems making the butter you can add a little oil

How this process works is that you are processing the almonds to the point where their natural oils are released which makes the “butter”

Here is a finished closeup of the product

The butter will not be super smooth but still extremely tasty
