- 200 grams of roasted almonds or hazelnuts
- If using raw nuts add 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
Roasting Nuts - Skip if Using Roasted Nuts
- If you are using raw almonds or hazelnuts, it’s recommended to roast them first to enhance their flavour. You can roast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Allow them to cool before proceeding.
Nut Butter
- Add Nuts to the Thermomix Bowl200 grams of roasted almonds or hazelnuts
- If you are using raw nuts, also add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil at this stage.If using raw nuts
- Seal the Thermomix bowl with the lid securely.
- Start blending at a high speed, typically Speed 9 | 1 minute. During this time, the nuts will be processed into a fine, grainy texture.
- Scrape Down the Bowl
- Resume blending at a slightly lower speed, usually around Speed 6, for about 30 seconds. This helps further break down the nuts and develop the desired buttery texture.
- Repeat as Needed
- Depending on your preference, you may need to repeat the blending and scraping steps a few times until you achieve the desired smoothness and creaminess of your nut butter. Be patient, as it may take a few rounds to reach the perfect consistency.
Transfer and Store
- Once you are satisfied with the texture of your almond or hazelnut butter, carefully transfer it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
- Store the homemade nut butter in the fridge to maintain freshness and prevent separation.
Notes
You can customize your nut butter by adding a touch of sweetness with honey or a pinch of salt for flavour, if desired. Simply incorporate these ingredients during the blending process.
Remember that homemade nut butter may naturally separate over time. Give it a good stir before each use to mix in any separated oil.
