Homemade Almond Butter with Vanilla Bean, Honey & Sea Salt
Learn how to make homemade almond butter with vanilla, honey, and sea salt, or however you want to customize it. Packed with fiber, protein, and good-for-you fats, it’s ridiculously smooth and perfect on just about anything. Way better than the store bought version!
Servings 1 jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsalted almonds
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil, to help smooth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- On large baking sheet spread out almonds and roast in oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly brown. Be very careful not to burn the nuts.
- Transfer to your food processor and process for 10-15 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. At this point the almonds should start to clump together. Continue to process until you reach the desired consistency. I always process until my almond butter is liquid like.
- If desired add salt, vanilla bean seeds, and honey and process again for another minute. If not smooth or it gets clumpy, add in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and process again!
- Transfer to tupperware or mason jar and store at room temperature or in fridge. If you store at room temp, simply give the almond butter a stir before you use it.
Notes
You can use raw almonds, although it may take a bit longer to make the almond butter. Feel free to alter flavors however you'd like.
