A quick recipe for nut butter. This is great if you have anyone allergic to peanuts but not other nuts. I made this while my bread was toasting! How quick is that?
150g almonds
150g cashews (mine were roasted, but they don’t have to be)
1 tbs approx of oil, I used macadamia
pinch of cetltic/himalayan rock salt (optional)
Place nuts into TM bowl and pulverise Sp 10/15 secs. Scrape down the sides (it should be looking like almond meal at this stage).
Blend again Sp 8/ 15 secs. Check consistency and add oil and salt if you wish – Sp 4/5 secs.
See, easy!
OPTIONS:
- Use any combination of nuts
- Add some coconut for flavour
- Add some honey for flavour and sweetness (though really, this butter was quite sweet on it’s own)
How long would this nut butter keep for? Thanks!
Hi Jessica
Mine keeps for over a month in the fridge. The good thing is it's so easy,you only need to make a small amount at a time. Tamara
I'm certainly going to try this, thank you! 🙂
I just made this with coconut oil and only used cashews. It is SO yummy!!!! Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for the recipe, just made a small jar full in moments 🙂 I used what I had on hand – dry roasted cashews, almonds and coconut oil. Yum!! My 20 month old loved it spread on plain crackers and apple slices. Will certainly makes this again, and try various nuts in different combinations!
Can I just check if I'm reading times right? Are you suggesting TM gets it there in about 30 secs? I'm using a food processor and taking about 30mins… trying to talk hubby into a TM and thinking "Really? Is the time THAT different???" Have I misinterpreted, is it a typo or can you really get it to butter in 30 secs???
Sorry, correct that, taking about 15mins at present. My question in unchanged 🙂
Hi folks,
Glad to hear you are all loving this 'recipe'. Its not really a recipe as such as it is so flexible, you can use what ever nuts or seeds you have on hand and flavour it with any oils or salts you wish.
Trainee – yes it only takes seconds. That is because the Thermomix blades rotate at 10,400 rpm. This is ten times faster that your average food processor. The things you can do in your Thermomix are truly impressive and there isn't really any comparison to other food processors or blenders. I guarantee you will have a delicious nut butter in under a minute. Like I say in my post – that's less time than it takes to toast your bread, or boil the kettle for your tea
