    FAQ's

    Is homemade almond butter healthier?

    Homemade Almond Butter is way healthier than the store-bought ones. It has no added preservatives and we have control over the ingredients that go in. This version of mine has just raw Almonds and not even oil.

    Why is my homemade almond butter not creamy?

    This means you still have to grind the almonds. This can also happen if you do not toast your Almonds right. Even after doing everything correctly and still not getting it right. You can add 1 or 2 tsp of neutral flavorless oil and grind the Almonds for a creamy Almond Butter.

    What is the best oil for nut butters, if using?

    Most nut butter have their own oil and do not need any extra additions. Sometimes because of the place and the climatic conditions if you had to add oil I prefer any flavorless oil. Sunflower oil works well.

    How to make Almond Butter

    Preheat the oven to 356 F / 180 C for 10 mins. Spread the Raw almonds over a baking tray. Make sure they are in a single layer and not touching each other.

    • Goes well in parfaits, Overnight oats, or Chia Pudding.
    • Almond Butter is also a primary ingredient in making Granola.

    It stays good for up to 4 weeks in the fridge. Store in an air-tight container. Make sure you use a clean spoon every time you scoop in. This helps in increasing the shelf life.
