Homemade Almond Butter

Hey Kira, oh no! I wonder if you didn't roast the almonds for long enough or if they cooled? We prefer blending the roasted almonds when they're still toasty as it helps them blend smoother.

If your food processor isn't very powerful, you may need to blend it for an extra 5-10 minutes to achieve the desired consistency. Pushing through can make all the difference! You could also consider adding a bit of vegetable oil or coconut oil to help the process along 🙂 We hope this helps for now and you enjoy the almond butter recipe if you give it another try 🫶

Thanks:) I would probably rather try it with "softer" nuts like cashews if I try again

Hiya Froukje, we're sad to hear this! Did you scale the recipe at all? Our food processor is 1100 W, so your machine would indeed need to push through a bit more. If it's also older or has a different type of blade, you may need to blend it for an extra 5-10 minutes to achieve the desired consistency. You could also add a bit of vegetable oil or coconut oil to help the process along. You could start with a tablespoon for 25 servings and add more as needed 😊 We hope this helps for now!

Thanks for your feedback! I will give it a try!

So happy to hear the homemade almond butter was a success, Lucky, thank you!

Hey Susanah, yes, you can substitute peanuts for almonds. We'd recommend raw or unsalted peanuts for the best results. If you're toasting them, just be aware that peanuts can cook faster than almonds, so watch them closely to prevent burning. Adjust the toasting time as needed, then follow the rest of the recipe as usual. Enjoy your homemade peanut butter! 😊

Hey Alana, we only use plant-based products here so we haven't before. Due to the high fat content in the nuts, adding a water-based sweetener like honey will cause the mixture to "seize" and become thick. You could try sweeteners like maple syrup, agave, powdered sugar, or coconut sugar instead :)

Tks so much!!! I’ll try! ; )

Hey Alana, thanks for your interest in PUL content and welcome to the app! We refer blending the roasted almonds when they're still toasty as it helps them blend smoother :)

thanks!

Hey Rebekah, thanks for sharing your experience with the Homemade Almond Butter. It can be tricky since ovens tend to vary but we hope you love the recipe with a 10-minute roast time next time 🤗

Only in food processor ? Or did you try in 2000 Watts blender ?

Only in a food processor, I don't have such a powerful blender and was afraid not to break it.

Awe thank you, Ramona - we hope you enjoy the almond butter! Happy cooking ☺️

Hey Eri, so glad to hear! Happy cooking 🤗

Hey FL, definitely! https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… - enjoy!

Hi Romane! We haven't broken ours, but we've been mindful not to push it, and we've only ever made nut butter in a high-powered food processor. Weaker ones might not be able to do it. An off sound or smell are two signs the food processor is being pushed too much. It can help to turn off the food processor for 30-60 intervals as needed, and then continue blending to help avoid this. In case you're interested and haven't already seen already, we talk about high-powered food processors in our kitchen essentials article here: pickuplimes.com/article/kitch… 😊

I want to make that almond butter therefore I am currently looking at the Magimix food processor you suggested. As I am cooking just for myself I thought I would get the mini Plus but the power is only 400 W. What is the minimum power you would recommend to be able to make that recipe without breaking the food processor?

Hey Alice, how exciting about the mini plus! Our food processors tend to be between 500-1200 watts. The manufacturer website might also say if the model works well for nut butters 😊

We hope you enjoy it, Sammy!

Thank you, Jenny, it means so much!

Aw so glad to hear, Hetal 😊

So thrilled to hear, Akshita 😍

Do let us know how it goes if you give it a try, Emilie!

Aw we're so thrilled the recipe was enjoyed by you and your partner, Leila 🤗

Hi there, Alzena, that's a lovely question! Pushing through can make all the difference. If your food processor isn't very powerful though, you may need to blend it for an extra 5-10 minutes to achieve the desired consistency. You could also consider adding a bit of vegetable oil or coconut oil to help the process along 🙂 We hope this helps for now!

Thank you, Melisa, for taking the time to share the review! It's so appreciated 🤗

Hi Rori, that's definitely a really common question! We wouldn't advise using a blender as your blender could break. We chat a bit more about it here: pickuplimes.com/article/kitch…. Hope this helps for now ✨

Hi DeeGee, indeed if left to sit long enough the almond butter will separate a bit. This is normal as the oil tends to go to the top when untouched for a while. Giving the almond butter a good mix before using it, or storing the almond butter in a sealed jar upside down in the fridge can help minimize or prevent the separation if desired ✨🤗

So glad you're enjoying the recipe, Amour!
