Creamy DIY Nut Butter

When one finds themselves out of nut butter on a Saturday night with an apple that needs a good slather you take matters into your own hands.

Because…

1. A trip to the store requires a little too much effort, and when i’m hungry, I have little to no patience.

2. The price of a decent jar of nut butter is the equivalent to15 apples (roughly)

3. I had all the ingredients to make a jar of my own nut butter.

Ok so now that I’ve gotten my reasoning out of the way, let me give you the deets. There are two ways we can go with this recipe.

Option 1 – Go au naturale and just use nuts for a classic cashew almond butter

OR

Option 2 – Go superfood with it and amp up to Bulletproof status. The trick with this option is adding Fourth & Heart Vanilla Ghee (which is life changing really). Add it to anything if you want your food to immediately taste like dessert.

How does this nut butter taste? It reminds me a lot like cake batter. No wait, Vanilla Cake batter. All in a smooth, velvety, nutty butter that’s full of good fats, collagen, no articifical nonsense, no yucky added oils and straight up love.

And the best bit?

Its ready in 8 minutes, and only requires a food processor.

This DIY nut butter can be made simple or amped up to bulletproof status with the addition of MCT oil, collagen and ghee.

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw organic cashews

• 1/3 cup raw organic almonds

• Option 2 Add

• 1 tbsp MCT oil

• 1 tbsp vanilla ghee

• 10g scoop collagen powder

Directions

• Throw your nuts in a food processor and blend on high for 8 minutes or until smooth and creamy. You will need to stop the machine a few times and scrap down the sides. The mixture will first turn crumbly, then will ricochet around the processor in a ball and THEN it will start to go smooth and creamy. This process will take roughly 8 minutes, so have faith and stick it out.
• If you’re going for option 2 (which i highly recommend) add in these ingredients to you processor at the end and blitz until well combined.
• Transfer to a mason jar with a lid and keep in the pantry at room temperature.

Notes

• Eat by the spoonful, slather on apple slices, bread or anything else you can get you hands on.
