Easy Almond Butter Recipe – Method

Put the almonds on a lined baking tray.
Pop the tray in a pre-heated oven at 180 Celsius for about 5 – 7 mins.
Leave the almonds to cool. If you are inpatient like I am, pop them in the freezer for a few mins to reduce temperature.
Put the almonds in a blender with the first tablespoon of oil and blitz for about 1 min. Add the last tablespoon of oil and blitz until creamy.
Transfer into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
