Method

  • step 1

    Put the almonds in a food processor and blitz on high speed until finely chopped and the nuts have come together to form a thick ball. With the processor still running, add the oil, 1 tsp at a time, until the mixture is a smooth, glossy paste – about 7 mins. Spoon into a clean jar, and keep tightly closed and refrigerated when not in use. Will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

I agree with the first post - I used 200g of flaked almonds (2 packs) tried with 2 tsp of mild olive oil but it had a consistency of unbaked crumble. Added more, about 2tbs in all, and then had a 'dry' version of peanut butter, spreadable with a lovely mild nutty flavour that didn't stick to the…

This is the one recipe of the Summer Diet Plan so far that has been a complete let-down, sad because the rest is so good! It needed far more oil than suggested and is still very dry and not spreadable, despite tasting good.
