Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the mixed nuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Stir the nuts halfway through roasting to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Let the roasted nuts cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooled nuts to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until the nuts become crumbly and begin releasing their natural oils.
Add the pure maple syrup, coconut oil (if using), and salt (if using). Continue processing for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Adjust the processing time based on your preferred texture.
Taste the nut butter and adjust the sweetness or salt level as needed by adding a touch more maple syrup or salt.
Transfer the maple nut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir if separation occurs.
