Ready To Start?
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2. Roughly chop the raw nuts of your choosing and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
- 3. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the nuts are slightly golden.
- 4. Allow the roasted nuts to cool, then add to a food processor.
- 5. Blend until completely smooth, around 2 minutes.
- 6. Add in the honey and optional salt and/or cinnamon and blend again until combined. The honey will help emulsify and thicken your nut butter and prevent oil separation that occurs naturally.
- 7. Transfer the nut butter to an airtight container or Mason jar and enjoy! It will last about 1 month stored at room temperature or about 3 months refrigerated.
