Homemade Roasted Almond Butter
Homemade almond butter is a delicious and healthy alternative to store-bought nut butters. It's easy to make and requires only one ingredient, and if you desire, salt.. All you need are some roasted almonds, a food processor, and a little bit of patience. The result is a creamy, rich, and nutty spread that's perfect for spreading on toast, dipping fruit in, or adding to smoothies and recipes.
