Homemade Cashew Butter
Once you make this, I guarantee it will become a staple in your home... cashews are full of healthy fats, rich in minerals, antioxidants, and taste delicious.
It's so simple to make homemade nut butters and there are many ways to consume them!
Here are some of my favorite ways I use cashew butter:
- Slathered on apples or celery
- Use in smoothies to make them more delicious than you can imagine.
- Subbed in any dish asking for nut butters like peanut, almond, etc.
- Use in Asian dishes & sauces
- Add to salad dressings!
- Perfect in raw desserts!
- Smothered on a toasted slice of sourdough bread, topped with honey, and hemp seeds. OMG, so good!
Ingredients:
- 5 cups organic raw unsalted cashews (4 cups to roast and 1 cup raw)
- 1 tsp Celtic salt or any sea salt will do.
Tools Needed:
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Food Processor
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper
3. Spread 4 cups of cashews evenly on baking sheet
4. Roast in oven for 8-10 minutes, they can burn easily so keep an eye on them!
5. Allow to cool
6. Once cooled, place roasted cashews, raw cashews, and salt into food processor.
7. Process until creamy. This can take some time. Using a spatula and scraping the sides consistently will help process.
8. Place butter into an airtight glass container. Store in the refrigerator. Can last up to a month in the fridge!
After roasting:
Place into food processor:
Yummy!! 
Voila!
The beautiful thing about eating real food, is that it's not complicated. This recipe calls for just 2 ingredients!!! I love to make a batch every couple weeks so that I have a quick snack ready to go, and an ingredient to use in other dishes or smoothies.
This type of cooking is the foundation of my 14 Day Gut Healing Cleanse. Simple.
This lifestyle program is all about nourishing the body by feeding it what it wants and loves to eat, real, whole, delicious food!
