Let’s Talk Ingredients -Homemade Almond Butter Recipe
Almonds: It is the star ingredients for this one so you want to make sure you use the best. I’ve come across a lot of almonds which have a weird whiff when you bite into it. That’s because they are really old or unkempt or just cheap quality.
In our recipe almonds are going to be ground in a food processor. To do so you need to make sure the oils released from the nuts don’t smell due to constant grinding in the food processor. Make sure to use good quality almonds that are not old and do not have a dark outer skin.
Honey: While making Almond Butter we also add some honey to it which adds a tinge of sweetness. You can skip this one if you’d like to, however, I think it helps in balancing flavors.
Roasting Almonds (How To Make PERFECT Almond Butter)
It is the first step to making Homemade Almond Butter. Roasting the almonds helps to release their natural oil. To do so you need to place the almonds on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure you spread the almonds all around the tray evenly. In a preheated oven roast the almonds for 10-15 mins at 160 degrees C.
Homemade Almond Butter
Toss the almonds every 5 mins while baking. Once done remove the almonds from the oven and let it cool a bit. The almonds need to be warm while churning in the food processor, not hot.
You can even roast the almonds on the gas in a pan. To do so take a dry pan and place it on the gas. Switch on the gas making sure it is on medium heat. Toss the almonds every minute. Roast for 10-15 mins until it gets a bit darker and crunchy. Once done let it cool a bit and then churn when warm, not hot.
