This smooth almond butter is made with just almonds. It takes less than ten minutes to make a batch in the Thermomix and tastes far better than anything you can buy in a jar.
FEATURED REVIEW
Such a great recipe, perfect every time. First time I used raw almonds but the last two times I roasted them first and it's so good! This time I also did 750g. Worked perfectly!
SHAR'LEE
Making almond butter in the Thermomix is a breeze. The almonds will go through a few stages as they blend, starting out crumbly before releasing their natural oils and turning into creamy almond butter.

Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Add the almonds to the Thermomix bowl.
- Mix for 1 min/speed 9.
- Mix for 4 min/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Mix for a further 3 min/speed 4 until smooth and creamy.
Homemade Almond Butter Tips
- Use at least 500 g of almonds. Using a smaller quantity makes it harder for the blades to catch the mixture, which means you'll spend a lot of time scraping down the bowl.
- Mix for longer at lower speeds (speed 4-5). This helps prevent the ground almonds from splattering up the sides of the bowl.
- Fresh almonds tend to produce a smoother almond butter. Older almonds can take longer to release their oils.
- Make sure the Thermomix bowl is completely clean and dry before starting. Any moisture can affect the texture of the almond butter.
Storage
Almond Butter can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Thermomix Almond Butter
Ingredients
- 500 g almonds, plain or dry roasted
Instructions
- Add the almonds to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 1 min/speed 9.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix for 4 min/speed 5.
- Scrape down the bowl again and mix for 3 min/speed 4 until smooth and creamy.
- If the almond butter is not yet smooth, continue mixing on speed 4 for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed. The exact timing can vary depending on the freshness of the almonds.
- Let the almond butter cool before storing.

Vicki,
Thank-you so much for this recipe. I would have been alarmed at the heat, if I tried this myself (Thermo newbie). Frankly this is so much nicer than anything I have bought and I know that it’s free of nasties. My Naturopath will be pleased. As for the cost, even using organic, I am so pleasantly surprised. Also now I have a use for the empty jars that resulted from buying almond butter . Win, win, win!
Vicki says
Thank you for your lovely comment Lorraine - so glad you liked it! Vicki.
Linda says
Love this recipe. I dry roasted almonds and the flavour of the almond butter is awesome! No added oil is such a bonus - lively and smooth for ease of spreading too!
Vicki says
So glad you enjoyed it Linda - thank you for letting me know. Vicki.
Cathy Bowen says
Thanks for this recipe! I’ve just started making a GF bread that uses 1 cup almond butter. Expensive loaf of bread!!
I’m curious, what do you all use your almond butter for?
Vicki says
Wow that is a lot! I use it mainly for spreading on toast and blending in with smoothies. We get through quite a lot a week.
Jackie says
Favourite nut spread ❤️ No added anything and super tasty and healthy to boot.
Vicki says
I'm so glad you liked it Jackie!
Yin says
I made the almond butter today. It turned out perfectly and it tasted delicious.... It is so easy and quick as well
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Thermomix recipe
Vicki says
Thank you Yin, I'm so glad it worked out well for you. Vicki.
Birdie says
This turned out beautifully, thanks for sharing your recipe. It was a big hit in our household. Fresh, healthy nut butter with no nasties added, made for half the cost of buying a ready made almond butter.
Vicki says
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Birdie! Vicki x
Terri Allen says
Thx for this do the almonds have skin on?
Vicki says
Hi Terri, yes the almonds have their skin on. Some people like to dry roast them first but I just use them straight from the packet. Vickix
Filip says
It does not have to be refrigiated and even in room tempeature is ok for months.
Vicki says
Thank you for letting me know! Ours is usually gone within a couple of weeks so this is helpful thank you.
Renate says
i did not have 500 gr so part was walnuts and it turned out perfect.
Vicki says
Hi Renate, I'm so pleased to hear it turned out well. I would love to try it but have a daughter who is allergic to walnuts! Vickix
Arianna says
Best almond butter recipe. I didn't have enough almonds so I added roasted cashews and it's delicious. Thanks!

Katy says
Great recipe worked really well for me and super easy! I used dry roasted almonds. 500ml jar too
Vicki says
Thank you - I'm so glad you liked it.
Josefina says
It doesn’t need to be roasted first?
Josefina says
*The almonds
Vicki says
No - I just use the ones at the supermarket that haven't been dry roasted.
Judy Strauss says
My husband just made this with almonds he'd dry roasted in the air fryer. Delicious
Vicki says
That's a great idea Judy! I have just purchased an air fryer and will give it ago. Glad you enjoyed the recipe. Vicki
Charlotte Krokene says
I like to combine 2 cups raw peanuts, 1 cup almonds, 2 tablespoons coconut oil. It allows longer storage, by adding coconut oil?
Vicki says
Yum - I'll have to give that one a try sometime 🙂
Marj says
Can this be frozen? Not sure if our household will go through 500g in a week
Vicki says
Yes - almond butter can be frozen although I've never done it.
Best wishes,
Vicki
Hannah says
I keep mine in the pantry, in a air-tight container and it lasts for 3 weeks at least.
Christine Croce says
This was super easy. I made 3 small 140ml jars.
Thanks, will make again.
