Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz raw cashews
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (preferably Wild Flower Honey)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment, trust me, you need parchment for this.
- Spread the Cashews onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle the Honey over the Cashews, stir them around a bit to coat.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8 – 10 minutes in the middle of the oven. Depending on how hot your oven gets, you might want to start checking after about 5 minutes.
- Remove Cashews from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a food processor, add the cooled, roasted Cashews and a pinch of Salt. Don’t forget the Salt. Of course, you can opt out, but just that pinch balances the taste beautifully.
- Start to chop, you will have almost a powdery consistency at first. Keep pulsing away, the next state will cause to start clumping, keep going scraping down sides if needed.
- Finally, it will start to create a creamier texture after a few minutes. I think, mine took about 3 minutes. If needed, continue to chop/pulse until desired consistency.
- Don’t give up if it’s clumpy, you just need to continue to chop/puree and before you know it, you will Cashew Butter.
- Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Enjoy!
NOTES
- You can use any nut you prefer in place of the cashews.
Notes
Store the cashew butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If the butter separates, simply stir it back together before using. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey. For a different flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.
