Homemade almond butter is one of the most delightful nut butter, don’t you agree? It can be a filling treat is just eaten off a teaspoon, or a perfect ingredient in numerous different keto recipes.

For this recipe, you can use raw almonds or blanched almonds. The only necessary tool is a food processor. From here on, things get pretty easy.

It is so easy to make homemade keto almond butter using a food processor. I prefer a food processor because it’s easier to scrape out the almond butter once it is finished. You can use your high-speed blender too!

You can blend a tiny bit of cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup or even pure cacao powder to make it taste extra special. Why not?

Equipment

food processor

Ingredients

3 cups organic raw almonds or blanched almonds
1 tsp kosher salt (or more to taste)

Optional add-ins:

avocado oil or coconut oil optional & to taste, depending on consistency desired
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spread the almonds across a large, rimmed baking sheet and
toast the almonds for 10-15 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown.
While the almonds are still hot, add them to your food processor along with the salt. Blend for 20-15 minutes, scraping down the bowl and lid with a spatula if the clumps get stuck. Blend until creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. You’re going to think it’ll never blend, but be patient! The almonds will go from flour-like clumps to a ball against the side of the food processor (keep scraping down the sides and breaking up the ball), and finally, it will turn lusciously creamy. If the mixture gets crazy hot along the way, stop and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once the almond butter is very smooth and creamy (no sooner!), you can blend in any add-ins you would like. You can add cinnamon for a hint of spice, and vanilla and/or sugar-free maple syrup for almond butter that tastes more special than store-bought.
Blend until the add-ins are evenly dispersed. When I added sugar-free maple syrup, I had to let the mixture cool, and then blend a few additional minutes, to make it creamy again.
Let the almond butter cool to room temperature, then transfer the mixture to a pint mason jar and screw on the lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or until you see or smell any signs of spoilage.

Notes

Roasting them also gets them heated up, and the oils in the almond warm, so they will break down much faster. You can also create a mixed nut butter by substituting raw cashews, walnuts or pecans for some of the almonds. Just roast them all on the pan together.
