How To Make Nut Butter

The best part about making your own nut butter at home is that it allows you to be creative by adding your favorite nuts, seeds, and plenty of other ingredients. So now you don’t have to buy separate jars of nut butter flavors. In short, this saves money and tastes even better than the store-bought version. This recipe calls for two nuts – almonds and walnuts.

Just follow two simple steps – roast and blend.

Roast the raw nuts until they are slightly golden brown or fragrant.

Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender until creamy and smooth. You can have it chunky if you don’t prefer smooth and runny butter.

Enjoy this spread on toast for breakfast or add in healthy oatmeal energy bites.
