When I decided to change my lifestyle and start researching about how to life a healthier and more energetic life, almond butter was an item that came across many tips and snack suggestions. Why almond butter? Because almond is one of the worlds supperfoods!

After some unsuccessful trips to supermarkets here in Munich, I came to understand that almond butter has not yet, found its market niche in this region. Nothing to worry about, if I can’t buy it, I can always DIY!
I’ve tried making almond butter raw and toasted, and by far, I prefer the roasted one. If you feel like it’s way too much to include the roasting process, it’s perfectly ok, as suits you better!
So, what do you need:
1 cup of raw almonds
Almond butter DIY
How you do it:
1 – Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (ah, Europe!).
2 – Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. (You will notice when they are done as soon as you start to feel the delicious scent of toasted almonds all you’re your kitchen)
3 – Pour the roasted almonds in a food processor and let it run for about 5-10 minutes or until desired smoothness (to avoid over-heating the food processor, I strongly suggest pause 1 minute for every 4 minutes working)
Transfer the butter to a previously sterilized container and store it in the fridge.
Suggestions with almond butter:
Breakfast

Snack
