Notes
- When I first thought of making almond butter, I thought it was difficult, time-consuming and would create chaos in my kitchen. But I was proven wrong and now he gives you my version.
- I prefer to use raw almonds and roast them in my kitchen oven. This makes the almond butter taste better and makes the whole kitchen smell great!
- We need to know that not all fruits have the same amount of oils. Cashews, macadamias, peanuts have more oils than almonds, but this is not a hindrance in our preparation. We'll just add some vegetable oil that we have at home. No need to buy anything special!
- You can store it in the fridge, but it will become hard and not easily spreadable.
- If the mixture in the blender is dry, add a little more oil to the blender. This can happen if the almonds are not of good quality. Always choose very good nuts and not dehydrated and stale ones.
- If you want you can use coconut oil, avocado oil and any other vegetable oil you like or have at home.
