Homemade almond butter needs only one essential ingredient: almonds. Unlike almond flour, this recipe intentionally blends the nuts until their natural oils form a creamy paste. The process takes patience and a sufficiently powerful food processor, but it gives you control over texture and flavour.

Almond flour is useful for cakes, biscuits, macarons and gluten-free baking. Making it at home is straightforward, but the right texture matters: whole almonds can turn into almond butter if processed for too long. Here is how to prepare, sieve and store homemade almond flour.
