Cashew Butter is my favorite 😍
It's like an upgraded version of peanut butter.
When I found out how easy it was to make homemade nut butter and not to mention the health benefits, I stopped buying store bought nut butters.
*You can use any types of nuts or seeds for this recipe*
Did you know, according to the FDA, peanut butter can have 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams! 😬
That's just nasty, I'll take my nut butters without the bugs. 🚫🐜
Let's get our ingredients together first;
Nuts or Seeds - 2 cups
Oil (I like walnut oil) - 1 Tbps or so
Agave - 1 Tbps or so (optional)
Whole Pitted Dates - 1 or 2 (optional)
A food processor is best to use for this however, you can use a blender
Add about 2 cups of nuts to your processor.
*if you want to use dates, add them now*
These are cashews.
Blend on high for about 5-7 minutes. ⏲
Have faith, it will start to come together. 🙏🏽
Just keep blending
Now add your oil and agave.
Blend some more for about 5-7 minutes. ⏲
It's starting to look a lot like Yumminess!
😍🤤😁
Just BEAUTIFUL
😍😋😍🤤😍
I got fancy with it 😏
Green apples🍏 pair so well with nut butter
&
Topped it with some granola pieces and hemp seeds 👌🏽👍🏽
I saved some whole nuts to the side and made a "crunchy" cashew butter.
