Peanut Free Paleo Almond Butter
Creamy, rich, and made entirely from scratch, this homemade almond butter is the kind of pantry staple that makes everything it touches taste better — from morning toast to smoothie bowls to a spoon eaten straight over the sink. Roasting the almonds first is the secret weapon here, coaxing out a deep, nutty fragrance before the food processor does its magic. The coconut oil helps everything come together into a silky, pourable consistency, while honey and a touch of sea salt balance the flavor beautifully. A splash of vanilla takes it somewhere almost dessert-like, though it's completely optional if you prefer a more classic, savory profile. For anyone navigating peanut allergies or simply avoiding peanuts by choice, making your own nut butter at home means zero guesswork about shared equipment or cross-contact — just five clean ingredients you control entirely. It keeps in the fridge for up to three weeks, so one batch goes a long way.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes, until they are fragrant and the skins have deepened to a rich brown — watch closely in the last 2 minutes, as they can darken quickly.

Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, until just warm to the touch.
