Directions
Homemade nut butter is healthy, affordable and even more delicious than store-bought! You can make as much or as little as you wish! Its easy to make, too. Youll just need a decent food processor or a really good blender. Making it yourself also gives you complete control of what goes into your nut butter. Serve it over toast, with banana, apples or pears, stir some into my overnight oats, smoothie bowls, or just eat it with a spoon!,If you wish, you can add flavor your nut butters by adding cinnamon, honey, maple syrup or leave it plain. The texture changes slightly when adding honey or maple, its not as smooth so I prefer to leave it unsweetened, which gives me the option of drizzling some on top of my toast, if I wish.,You can make a blend of nuts by combining a few varieties.,Depending on how much fat is in the nut will determine how quick the nut turns into butter. The walnuts and pecans have more fat, so they only take about 10 to 15 minutes to process into a butter. Almonds have less fat, so they take a little more time, about 30 minutes total. It may seem like its not going to work, but just be patient, it will!,To enhance the sweet, nutty flavor of the nuts, toasting them is a must before making them into butter. You will want to cool the nuts before making them into butter.,Since there are no preservatives, you will want to keep it refrigerated to prevent it from going rancid. It can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.,The texture of homemade nut butter is firmer after refrigeration than it is at room temperature, which makes it harder to spread. To fix this problem, let your homemade nut butter stand at room temperature for several minutes prior to serving.

Transfer the Nuts to a High-Speed Blender or Food Processor. Blend Until Creamy, Scraping Down the Sides as Necessary. Be Patient, It May Seem Like It Will Never Turn to Butter, but It Will! It Will Go from Clumps, to a Ball Against the Side of the Food Processor (keep Scraping the Sides), Then Finally It Will Turn Very Creamy. If the Mixture Gets Too Hot, Stop and Let It Cool Down For a Few Minutes. |
