I can not understand why almond butter is so expensive in German supermarkets: 7 - 8 Euros! Why is almond butter so much more expensive than other nut butters? I totally get why pistachio nut butter is pricier considering the price for pistachios. But for almonds? Why isn't almond butter in the same price range as peanut butter or hazelnut butter?
No matter what the answers to these questions are, you can easily make your own almond butter and save yourself some money.

Ingredients
How it is done:
-
Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the almonds on the baking tray.
-
Place the baking tray in the middle rack of your oven and roast the almonds for 9 - 12 minutes.
-
Let the almonds cool down for a moment. Then transfer them to a strong food processor or blender. Blend the almonds until they turn into nut butter. You might have to scrape down the sides a couple of times to get a weil-mixed and even nut butter. You better blend the nuts for too long than too short to get really fine and runny nut butter.
