Homemade almond butter is so healthy and easy to make. My version has 2 ingredients – toasted almonds and sea salt (no added oils). You will need a food processor to turn your toasted almonds and sea salt into a jar of delicious homemade almond butter.

Almond butter is an all-around pantry staple that is you can easily make yourself. You can spread a spoonful on slice of bread (try these spelt sandwich buns), on pancakes, in your morning shake, in raw desserts, and many sweet recipes.
If you have about 10 minutes to spare, then you can make your own almond butter, with the help of a food processor. If you are looking for a good food processor, here is a link to the food processor that I use. (affiliate link)
Let`s be honest there is a lot of recipes that take a minute to make by using a Vitamix!! However, this food processor (affiliate link) from Black and Decker works well for me and has lasted many years. To make your own almond butter will take longer in a food processor than a Vitamix but will come out just as delicious. My big sister absolutely loves this recipe, so you know it is good. 🙂
It is unbelievable how much unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients are in a store-bought almond butter when you really only need two – toasted almonds and salt.
2-Ingredient Homemade Almond Butter Recipe
Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

Notes
My Cranberry Oat Crumble Bars goes very well with a scoop of homemade almond butter on top.
