Homemade Cashew Butter Recipe

Makes : 1 cup 

Prep time: 7 mins + roasting & cooling time

Ingredients:

• 2 cups natural cashews
• 1 tsp sea salt

Steps:

1. Roast the cashews on a sheet tray at 400F for 5-10 mins until golden. Allow to cool completely before continuing. 
2. Add the cashews to a food processor with the salt and mix for about 1 minute, scrape down the sides and mix for another minute, then scrape down again.
3. Continue mixing the cashews for about 5-7 minutes in total. They will go through several stages, first coarse, then it will draw together into a ball, then it will begin to release, and finally it will be a dry butter, but if you keep going it will eventually become smooth (about 7 mins). 

• You can add 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil towards the very end if you prefer a runny nut butter.
