Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or grapeseed oil, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the raw almonds and cashews evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the nuts in the oven for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to over-toast.
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. This will prevent the oils from becoming too hot during blending.
Transfer the cooled nuts to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Process the nuts for 5–8 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture will first become crumbly, then start forming a paste, and finally turn smooth and creamy.
Add the raisins, salt, and cinnamon (if using), and process for another 2–3 minutes until the raisins are completely incorporated. This will add natural sweetness and a hint of chewiness.
If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and blend again to adjust the consistency.
Taste and adjust with a pinch more salt or cinnamon, if desired.
Transfer the raisin nut butter to an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
