Homemade Nut Butter
INGREDIENTS
roasted nuts - i bought a roasted nut mix - cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans - from Trader Joes (if you have raw nuts, you can roast them in the oven)
optional adds-ins: flax seed, chia seed, hemp seed, pumpkin seed, coconut butter, cacao powder, melted chocolate, sea salt, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, date syrup/maple syrup/honey, raisins
METHOD
Pour roasted nuts (~3 cups) into a food processor. Blend until silky smooth (can take up to 10 minutes).
Then, I added in a spoonful of chia seed, a spoonful of flax seed, a pinch of sea salt, less than 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a squeeze of date syrup. blend again. Taste and adjust.
Transfer to a mason jar and enjoy! I like to store in the fridge to maximize freshness.
