Cashew Butter is Everything

With a spoon, spread on a piece of bread, drizzled on banana….this cashew butter recipe is everything. Anyone else out there love the perfectly sweet creaminess of cashew butter?! We find ourselves gravitating toward cashew butter instead of peanut butter all the time in FFHQ. And because of that perfect natural sweetness, we decided to leave out any sort of sweetener. But you are more than welcome to add in some honey or maple syrup to sweeten it up a bit! And looking for other add-ins? Read on for more of our faves ๐Ÿ˜€ cashews in a food processor

How to Make Cashew Butter

This cashew butter recipe is not complicated or time consuming! Seriously, it’s only 2 steps. So, get ready for the most delicious homemade cashew butter of your life, and say goodbye to spending $8+ on a jar of store-bought cashew butter.

Step 1: Food Process Those Cashews!

Place roasted cashews in a high-speed food processor and process on high for about 5-7 minutes stopping to scrape the sides every so often. The longer you process it, the drippier it will be. If you’re having a tough time getting your cashews to blend until smooth, consider adding in 1 or 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil to reach your desired creaminess. Looking to make this cashew butter recipe crunchy? Simply stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cashews into your creamy cashew butter, and voila! Crunchy cashew butter.

Step 2: Enjoy! And Save Some for Later

Store your cashew butter in an air-tight glass container for up to 3 months, but we’re betting it will be long gone by then, and you’ll be whipping up another batch. cashews partially blended in a food processor

Team Creamy or Team Crunchy?

I’m usually a smooth nut butter kind of girl, but this crunchy / creamy combo was a nice change up. Depending on how chunky you like your peanut butter, feel free to stir in 1/2 cup of chopped cashews to chunk it up a bit, or skip this step entirely to keep your cashew butter nice and creamy. cashews butter in a glass jar with a spoon

Next time you could freeze the nut butter and you’d pass through security just fine!
