You can make just about any nut butter if you have a powerful blender (like a Vitamix) and 10 minutes to spare. Food processors work too, but you may get a slightly courser consistency.
DIY Nut Butter
Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups nuts (raw, salted, sprouted or roasted—see which you like best!)
2 Tbsp. oil, optional (if you want a smoother consistency)
Honey, maple syrup, brown sugar or coconut sugar, to taste, optional
Instructions:
Put everything in your choice of machine and blend until smooth. Push the tamper down if using a blender, and stop a few times to scrape the sides if you have a food processor. Butter will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge in an airtight container. Enjoy!
