Almond Butter

We are huge lovers of nut butter!

We’ve tried making it before but it’s never been as good as some of the better shop bought…that is until we made this!
 
This heavenly unctuous roasted and lightly salted almond butter is ‘eat from the jar with a spoon’ worthy. It’s also unbelievably simple to make.
 
For this recipe we’ve used two small packets of roasted with sea salt almonds from Blue Diamond Almonds.
 

Ingredients

·       130g Blue Diamond Roasted with Sea Salt Almonds flavoured Snack Almonds (2 x packs)

·       300g plain raw almonds

or
430g of plain raw almonds
add ½ tsp. of pink Himalayan salt

Equipment
 
Roasting tray
Baking paper
Blender
Jar


Method
Heat oven to 180°C (fan oven).

Line an oven tray with baking paper – spread out the raw almonds.

Place in the centre of the oven for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and leave to cool to room temperature.

Once cooled, tip them into your blender and add Roasted with Sea Salt Snack Almonds.

Then, on high speed, blend the nuts until smooth. This will only take a few minutes.

Spoon into an airtight container and store in the fridge. Ideally use a tight seal glass jar.

How to use…
Ooo on anything!
The kids love almond butter spread on toasted sour dough bread with sliced banana and drizzled with honey.
We love a spoonful in smoothies for a protein boost or a dollop on smoothie bowls.

Our next recipe is for gluten free blondies made using almond butter.
But don’t be surprised to find us with a spoon in the jar, just savouring it!
