Almond Butter
Cooking time 10-15mins Blending time 5-10mins
Ingredients
Almonds (Natural) (250g of nuts will give you 250mls of butter)
Salt to taste
Preparation
- Heat oven to 180C.
- Spread nuts evenly on an oven tray and place in the heated oven.
- Roast for 10 – 15mins, turning the nuts over after 5mins. Keep an eye on the nuts as they can burn quickly.
- Place roasted nuts (and salt if you want to add) in a blender/food processor and blend until the nuts turn into a smooth paste. Approximately 5 – 10mins.
- Store the almond butter in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy on toast, pop a spoonful into your smoothie, use it in your baking. If you find that the texture is too thick for your liking you can always add a little canola or peanut oil to the roasted nuts when you blend them.
