Raw or roasted almonds blended into creamy almond butter in a high-speed blender, with a little oil if needed.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups raw almonds
  • Optional: 3-4 tbsp neutral flavored oil (such as avocado oil)

Directions

  • If you are roasting, heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spread the almonds on a parchment-lined tray and roast for 10-13 minutes.
  • Let them cool all the way to room temperature, then put them in the Vitamix container.
  • If you are skipping the roasting and using oil, add the oil first, then the nuts.
  • Fit the lid, take out the cap, and insert the tamper.
  • Blend on high, using the tamper to push the almonds down, especially into the corners. It is ready after one minute.
  • Move to an airtight container and refrigerate.

Notes

Keeps several weeks in the fridge, possibly longer. The method is written for a Vitamix with tamper.
