This recipe looking So good . I like this type of recipe .
Thanks for sharing
This recipe sounds really good. But what is the life/storage shelf of these?
Thanks, this sounds great & easy. If we make the almond butter in bulk, how long would you say it would keep in the fridge?
Thanks!
I love your recipes but probably won’t use them because I can’t print them out ant it’s too inconvenient to copy and past them to my recipes. Do you have an easy “Print” feature for your recipes?
We’ll look into adding a button on the post itself, but that shouldn’t stop you from printing them out in the meantime. Just click print from your web browser menu and print this page (minus the comments).
I love almond butter, I have to try this recipe. Thanks for posting.
I’d like to know a few specifics. Do you soak the nuts at room temperature, which right soon will be around 80 degrees. And what oven temperature is optimal?
A no no for me. I am allergic to Almonds & other nuts! Any alternative please?
Two of us are allergic to almonds in our family. Sunflower seed butter makes a great alternative as do pumpkin seeds and tahini (sesame seed butter). Basically, you can sub any seed butter for the nuts.
Tahini butter won’t be a suitable substitute in my opinion for almond butter. Sunflower is great though. never tried pumpkin.
Why not just use peanut butter?

Lisa, from what I have learned during the last three years, I am happy to pass on to you that peanuts are legumes which contain some very nasty antinutrients and toxins such a phytic acid and lectins They are also a high glycaemic source of carbohydrates which will not assist you to gain good health. Go well, Jennifer 🙂
Don’t almonds also have physic acid in skins? If so…would it not be better to blanch (pop off skins after soaking) the almonds before roasting?
Also skins pop off faster if water is quite hot…almost boiling.
Because peanuts are legumes and thus not paleo at all.
The reason is – peanut butter is okay but almond butter is fantastic
Great recipe, but one I’ll never prepare for myself: There is no quantity of almond butter that I cannot eat. Too dangerous to have anywhere near me.
Thank you for this delicious sounding recipe! I’ll have to try this myself sometime soon too!.
The point of the Paleo diet is, and I feel some people forget this, to not only diet, but to eat delicious foods at the same time. Paleo is the only diet I’ve come across that cuts out food groups, yet still focusses on everyone’s need to eat great food.
I’m a real foodie, and would not survive on any other diet, but Paleo has been very good for me. I’ve written about a couple of my favourite cookbooks here: http://cookbook-reviews.net/review-the-paleo-grubs-book/
