Walnut Butter

Author Sunita

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw walnuts
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°.
  • Place the walnuts and cashews on a baking sheet and roast in oven for about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • To a food processor, add walnuts and cashews, and being processing (this will take some time). You will go through phases in grinding your nut butter. First, you'll see a the nuts break down be coarse, then a fine powder. Keep going! It will eventually start looking like a "dough." Keep processing! After it's gone past the dough-ball phase, you will start seeing the nut butter transform into a smooth nut butter consistency. You've just gotta keep processing! You can give your machine breaks every now and then to ensure it doesn't overheat.
  • Once it's turned into butter, add in the rest of the ingredients and process until everything is well incorporated together.
  • Now you can use it on your toast, apples, sandwiches, oatmeal, or just eat it by the omega-3 filled spoonful!
  • Store in a jar in the fridge for about a month.
