Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds
pinch salt optional

Instructions

Place almonds on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 180°C or until they start to darken.
Place hot almonds in a food processor and process or pulse until almonds begin to break down into crumbs.
Scrape down sides of the processor and continue to process. Anytime you can see the almonds beginning to get stuck on the sides or at the base, pause to scrape down the sides.
Continue to process and scrape down the sides until it has all come together as a thick paste. This should take around 20 minutes of processing to get to this point.
Almond butter will be done when it is smooth and silky and is a spreadable consistency.
Place in a jar and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
