Homemade almond butter is one of the most delightful nut butters, don't you agree? It can be a filling treat just eaten off a teaspoon, or a perfect ingredient in numerous different keto recipes.
I suggest buying blanched almonds. The only necessary tool is an s-blade food processor. From here on, things get pretty easy.
This homemade almond butter is easy to make. The perfect keto spread for breakfast, waffles, pancakes, and keto bread. You can even use it as an ingredient in keto shortbread almond cookies.
Homemade Almond Butter
Ingredients
- 7.5 oz almonds - (blanched)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Toast the almonds in the oven for approximately 20 minutes. Stir a couple of times to prevent burning.
- Let the almonds cool before processing.
- Put the almonds into the bowl of an s-blade food processor. Add a pinch of salt.
- Pulse for a few minutes until the texture starts resembling butter. You might need to scrap the sides of the bowl every now and then.
- Add the coconut oil and pulse for another minute or two.
- Use it immediately or store in a fridge for up to a month.

Hello there! I was following through the recipe and plateaued at step #5. My almonds just wouldn't turn buttery... Had been trying out for almost an hour now D: Any idea what should I do to make it turn buttery?
My Sweet Keto says
Hi, Angel! This so so weird. Have you tried adding some coconut oil? Maybe your almonds are somehow drier and need more additional fat? Sometimes you also have to scrape the sides of the bowl constantly.
Angel says
Hi! I went back to my ground powder yesterday and I’ve made it! I think my food processor is not powerful enough, the almond doesn’t turn due to low temperature. What i did was baking the fine powder from the one hour that day at 300F for 10 minutes and processed it while it’s hot. It turned right away! Without needing additional oil! It tastes soooo good! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
My Sweet Keto says
I'm so glad you've made it. Next time, it might be a good idea to just roast the whole almonds for a bit so that they heat up and should turn into butter quicker.
Angel says
Hello! I went back to deal with the fine almond powder today and i’ve made it! What I did was baking it at 300F for around 10 minutes and process them while it’s hot. Within seconds the beautiful almond butter came in front of my eye! It tastes so awesome! Thanks for the recipe! Xoxo
My Sweet Keto says
Yes, roasting the nuts is a great solution - heating really helps. Should have suggested this earlier but it slipped my mind completely.

You are so welcome, Valeria! Thank you for the feedback. Enjoy your almond butter. 🙂
Uma says
Hi would almond butter turn solid/hard with coconut oil?
My Sweet Keto says
Hi, in the fridge, every butter will turn relatively solid.
Sean says
Hi, very simple but neat recipe. How long can you store the almond butter for? Presumably you'd store in the fridge?
My Sweet Keto says
Yes, keep it in the fridge. In cold temperatures and out of light, in an airtight jar, it should last for a couple of weeks if not a month.
Stacy Valentine says
Does this recipe use coconut butter or coconut oil? It says oil in the ingredients list but butter under the picture in step #6. Thanks!
My Sweet Keto says
I see. Thank you for the notice. It's oil. 🙂
