Ingredients
Scale
Cashew Base
- 3 cups unsalted raw cashews
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp butter extract or 1 tbsp melted grass-fed butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Roast Cashews: Spread the raw cashews evenly on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for 8-10 minutes. Stir halfway through roasting to ensure even browning. Once done, remove and let them cool completely for about 10 minutes.
- Blend Cashews: Transfer the cooled cashews to a food processor. Blend continuously, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Expect the mixture to first become crumbly like almond flour, then gradually stick together, and finally turn into a smooth, creamy butter. This process will take approximately 10-12 minutes, so patience is key.
- Melt Coconut Oil & Maple Syrup: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and maple syrup. Microwave just until the coconut oil is melted and then stir to combine.
- Add Sweeteners and Flavorings: While the food processor is running on low speed with the cashew butter base smooth, slowly pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup mixture. Continue blending well to fully incorporate the liquid ingredients. Then add the coconut sugar, cinnamon, butter extract (or melted grass-fed butter), vanilla extract, and salt. Blend once more until all ingredients are perfectly combined and the cashew butter is creamy and aromatic.
Notes
- Use raw, unsalted cashews for the best flavor and texture.
- Patience during blending is crucial to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, use butter extract instead of melted grass-fed butter.
- Store the cashew butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Stir well before each use as natural separation may occur.
