Walnut Butter Recipe
Description
Walnut Butter Recipe starts with 3 cups of raw, shelled walnuts that are processed in a food processor until smooth and creamy, taking about 10 to 15 minutes with occasional scraping and rests. Optional ingredients like sea salt, honey, and coconut oil can be blended in toward the end to enhance flavor and texture. Toasting the walnuts in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes before processing deepens their flavor.
The final product is a creamy walnut spread that can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four weeks, or frozen for up to four months. When made without additions, the flavor is mild and subtly nutty, while the additions provide sweetness, saltiness, and richness.
This butter has about 208 calories per two-tablespoon serving when made plain and is suitable for various culinary uses like spreading on bread, adding to sauces, or baking. Allow frozen walnut butter to thaw overnight in the fridge for best texture.
