Gluten Free Paleo Almond Butter

Homemade almond butter is one of those kitchen projects that sounds ambitious but is genuinely simple once you get going — and the result is so much better than anything you'll find on a store shelf. Roasting the raw almonds first is the secret move here, coaxing out a deep, nutty fragrance and a rich brown color that translates directly into flavor. From there, the food processor does the heavy lifting, slowly breaking the almonds down from dry crumbs into a thick paste and finally into a silky, pourable butter. A touch of coconut oil helps the texture along, while honey and sea salt bring a perfectly balanced sweet-savory finish. A splash of vanilla, if you choose to use it, adds a subtle warmth that makes this taste almost indulgent. Every ingredient is naturally free of gluten, with no grains, fillers, or stabilizers that can sneak into commercial versions and cause problems for people who need to be careful. Store it in a glass jar in the fridge and you'll have a clean, wholesome spread ready for the next two to three weeks — though it rarely lasts that long.
