Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw or roasted nuts (e.g., almonds, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, or mixed nuts)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Neutral oil (e.g., avocado or coconut, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if using raw nuts. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet in an even layer, and roast them for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Skip this step if using pre-roasted nuts.
Allow the nuts to cool slightly before transferring them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Process the nuts on high speed for 6-12 minutes, stopping every 1-2 minutes to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The nuts will progress through stages: crumbled, then a dry paste, then a smooth and creamy butter.
If desired, add salt, sweetener (e.g., honey or maple syrup), or oil to adjust the flavor and texture of the nut butter. Blend for another 1-2 minutes to incorporate the ingredients fully.
Taste the nut butter and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Transfer the nut butter to a clean, airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 1 month.
