How to Make Cashew Butter
Description
This recipe begins by evenly spreading 4 cups of raw cashews on a baking sheet and roasting them at 325ºF until lightly golden, which enhances their flavor. After cooling slightly, the cashews are placed in a food processor and ground for about 10 minutes, scraping down the sides to ensure even blending. When the nuts reach a creamy consistency, 2 teaspoons of extra virgin coconut oil are added, and processing continues until the desired smoothness is achieved.
The result is a natural cashew butter with a rich texture and subtle nutty aroma, without additives or preservatives. It can be stored in a glass jar and refrigerated to maintain freshness for approximately one month. This method provides a straightforward way to create homemade nut butter with a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cashew nuts I used these, raw
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF and place raw cashews on a medium-sized baking sheet. Spread evenly in one layer and toast for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cashews cool on pan for 10 minutes.
- Process cashews: Place slightly cooled cashews in bowl of food processor and cover with lid. Process for about 10 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically if necessary. Once your cashews have turned into a slightly creamy consistency, with the motor running, add 2 tsp of coconut oil and process the cashew butter for another 5 minutes, or until desired consistency.
- Cool and store: Transfer cashew butter into jar with lid and store in fridge.
Notes
- For best results, use at least 4 cups of cashews in a 12-cup food processor to allow thorough blending and achieve creamy texture.
- Store the cashew butter in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to one month to maintain freshness.
- Each serving size is about one tablespoon, and the recipe makes roughly 2 cups of cashew butter.
