Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and spread the blanched almonds evenly on a baking tray. Toast them in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until they become lightly golden. This step enhances the natural flavor of the almonds.
2
Once the almonds have cooled slightly (but not completely), transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender. The consistency will start off crumbly, but after 6-7 minutes of blending, the mixture will begin to thicken and eventually become smoother and more fluid. Be sure to give your machine a break if it begins to overheat.
3
Once the almond mixture is creamy, add the ground cinnamon, salt, honey, and sesame oil. Continue blending for another 5 minutes until fully combined, ensuring that the almond butter reaches a silky smooth consistency without any lumps.
4
After 15 minutes of blending, the almonds should release their natural oils, and you’ll have a luscious almond butter. Store the almond butter in a sealed jar and refrigerate for at least an hour before use. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
