Ingredients:

We mentioned you only need two ingredients, but you can even leave out the oil and blend the butter just a little bit longer.

• roasted, salted cashew nuts
• coconut oil

Instructions:

1. If you bought raw nuts, salt and roast them upfront. Roasted nuts will release the oils much faster than the raw ones and make the whole process easier.
2. Put the nuts in the food processor and blend for around five minutes.
3. Add coconut oil, if you’re using it, and keep blending.
4. Scrape the edges of the bowl a few times to make sure everything blends evenly.

Macadamia Butter

Cashew Butter
