Homemade Almond Butter

Posted: Apr 25, 2016 · Updated: Mar 23, 2021 by Tisa · 18 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Homemade almond butter is one of the most delightful nut butters, don't you agree? It can be a filling treat just eaten off a teaspoon, or a perfect ingredient in numerous different keto recipes.

I suggest buying blanched almonds. The only necessary tool is an s-blade food processor. From here on, things get pretty easy.

You can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 weeks and 3-4 days at room temperature.

This homemade almond butter is easy to make. The perfect keto spread for breakfast, waffles, pancakes, and keto bread. You can even use it as an ingredient in keto shortbread almond cookies.

      Hi, Angel! This so so weird. Have you tried adding some coconut oil? Maybe your almonds are somehow drier and need more additional fat? Sometimes you also have to scrape the sides of the bowl constantly.

        Hi! I went back to my ground powder yesterday and I’ve made it! I think my food processor is not powerful enough, the almond doesn’t turn due to low temperature. What i did was baking the fine powder from the one hour that day at 300F for 10 minutes and processed it while it’s hot. It turned right away! Without needing additional oil! It tastes soooo good! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!

          I'm so glad you've made it. Next time, it might be a good idea to just roast the whole almonds for a bit so that they heat up and should turn into butter quicker.

        Hello! I went back to deal with the fine almond powder today and i’ve made it! What I did was baking it at 300F for around 10 minutes and process them while it’s hot. Within seconds the beautiful almond butter came in front of my eye! It tastes so awesome! Thanks for the recipe! Xoxo

          Yes, roasting the nuts is a great solution - heating really helps. Should have suggested this earlier but it slipped my mind completely.

      Hi, in the fridge, every butter will turn relatively solid.

    Hi, very simple but neat recipe. How long can you store the almond butter for? Presumably you'd store in the fridge?

      January 25, 2018 at 8:05 pm

      Yes, keep it in the fridge. In cold temperatures and out of light, in an airtight jar, it should last for a couple of weeks if not a month.
