Es ist für mich unerklärlich, warum Mandelmus im Supermarkt 7 - 8 Euro kostet. Warum ist dieses Mus so viel teurer als Nussmus aus anderen Nüssen? Bei Pistazien ist es natürlich nachvollziehbar, weil auch Pistazien recht teure Nüsse sind. Aber bei Mandeln? Warum liegt es preislich nicht im gleichen Bereich wie Erdnussbutter oder Haselnussmus?
No matter what the answers to these questions are, you can easily make your own almond butter and save yourself some money.
I always like to use almond butter as a topping for porridge, semolina pudding or rice pudding, for example in my recipe for Chestnut Buckwheat Porridge with Wild Berries and Figs. The preparation is also very similar to my recipe for Healthified Bittersweet Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, because this is chocolate hazelnut butter.

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.
