How To Make Almond Butter In Your Blender Or MOD Blend Pro

Almond butter has been one of the trendiest health foods of the last decade. It's a great healthier alternative to peanut butter but it's also a fair amount pricier. Did you know it's actually super simple to make your own blender almond butter at home? Trust us, once you have tried homemade almond butter for yourself you will never want to buy the store bought stuff again.

All you need to make deliciously creamy almond butter at home is a high speed blender (the MOD Blend Pro is great for this!), a few pantry staples and some time! Making almond butter from scratch is certainly not a quick process; it takes time for the nuts to break down and release their oils but the best things in life are worth waiting for, right?

Homemade almond butter works out cheaper than buying it in store and if you buy your almonds in bulk, then it uses less packaging as well.

The same can be said for making your own almond milk and almond meal.

Here is our recipe for our favourite homemade blender almond butter!

Homemade Almond Butter | MOD Appliances

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pre-roasted almonds (see recipe notes below)

  • ½ tsp of sea salt, more to taste

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

  1. Add the almonds and sea salt to your high speed blender (we love using our MOD Blend Pro) and secure the lid;

  2. Using the touch slider to control the speed, start off with blending on the lowest setting, increasing as necessary until the nuts have broken down and become pale and creamy;

  3. Pause every so often and scrape down the sides of the blender. It will take a little while for the nuts to turn to nut butter, so it’s important to be patient;

  4. Once the mixture has started to look sticky and wet, stop, scrape down the sides again and add in the vanilla extract, if using;

  5. Continue blending until the nut butter has turned into a sticky, creamy, delicious mess.Using a spatula, scrape the nut butter into a glass jar.
