Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 cup flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread the raw almonds evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through. This enhances the flavor and makes blending easier.
Step 3
Remove the roasted almonds from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Step 4
Add the flaxseeds to the blender or food processor along with the salt.
Step 5
Process the almonds and flaxseeds until smooth and creamy, which may take about 8-12 minutes. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure even blending.
Step 6
If you'd like a thinner consistency or experience difficulty during processing, add the coconut oil gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired texture is reached.
Step 7
Once the almond flax butter is smooth, transfer it to a clean, airtight glass jar or container.
Step 8
Allow the butter to cool completely before sealing the jar and storing. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or at room temperature for about 1 week (stir as needed to reincorporate oils).
Step 9
Enjoy your homemade almond flax butter on toast, fruits, or as a versatile addition to your favorite recipes!
