How To Make Your Own Fancy Nut Butters At Home


The process is very simple. All you need is a food processor or a high-speed blender, at least a quarter cup of nuts (buy them in bulk to save more) and the accoutrements of your choosing (ingredients like salt, honey, raisins, chocolate chips, cinnamon and cocoa powder). 

Process the nuts for a minute, stopping to scrape them off the sides of the food processor. As you keep processing, the oils from the nuts will unfurl, providing the mixture with moisture.

Repeat this step (pause every minute to scrape the sides) while chucking in the add-ins: If it's on the liquid-y side, like honey or maple syrup, drizzle it in gradually to get the consistency you desire. It's hard to mess up your nut butter, but be extra conscious to not let the machine run for more than one minute at a time. warns that this will cause the machine to overheat. Once your spread meets your texture preference requirements, store in an airtight container.

You really can make any kind of nutty combination your brain can compose. Here's a bit of inspiration if you're stuck:

1.-Cinnamon Sugar & Raisin Peanut Butter

2.-Pumpkin Almond Butter

3.-Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Cashew Butter

4.-Snickerdoodle Almond Butter

5.-Maple Sea Salt Pistachio Butter
