Honey Cashew Butter

I’ve probably said this before but I could spend all too much money on something like a fancy nut butter. Even plain almond butter or cashew butter runs a mean price tag when it’s so easy to make at home. I picked up a pound of cashews for $5 from the bulk bin and managed to make 18oz of “gourmet” cashew butter with a few ingredients on hand. I’ll never look back at store-bought again. 

Honey Cashew Butter

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cashews, raw or roasted
• 3 Tablespoons honey
• 2 Tablespoons neutral oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add the cashews to a food processor and start blending on high.

When the cashew butter starts to form a dough ball, add in the honey, salt, and oil and continue processing. Stop sooner for a thicker consistency or blend longer for a smooth and runny cashew butter.

I like my cashew butter a little chunky so I didn’t puree it too much and it came out perfect. On a spoon it almost taste like cookie dough. This could be dangerous.
