Vanilla Cashew Almond Butter

It took about 20 seconds to become addicted to this vanilla cashew almond butter.

But it took about 20 minutes to make. A lot longer than I thought it might! But the result, with a little bit of patience, was amaze-balls.

Patience is not a virtue I’ve yet mastered. This is why when I tried to make this the very first time, I assumed my food processor wasn’t as good as it should be to make a really creamy, smooth nut butter.

Little did I know, I needed to add about 10 extra minutes to the processing time to get a cashew almond butter that was simply marvelous.

I’ve been eating it by the spoonful (totally allowed) and with fruit, on sandwiches and muffins. I’m not ashamed.

I had fallen out of love with peanut butter for a while, and I think this is my new alternative. I predict it will be showing up in weekend food prep regularly!

Instructions

1. Add cashews and almonds to the food processor. Process until you get a crumb-like consistency (5 minutes or so). Scrap any food sticking to the sides every 2 minutes.
2. While processing, pour in one tablespoon of peanut oil, all of vanilla and honey. Continue to process 3 minutes or so before adding rest of the peanut oil.
3. Continue to process about 20 minutes total, scraping down nut butter off sides of the bowl as needed. You’ll want to process until you get to the magical point where your crumbs become a creamy, smooth nut butter!

My next test with this nut butter will be to add them to Lindsay’s frozen peanut butter cups. I anticipate it being delicious.
