Honey Cashew Butter (Plain or Crunchy) image

Rich, smooth, salty, and sweet, this homemade cashew butter is divine. It would be delicious on a slice of toasted bread, served with some fruit or smeared on a graham cracker. Enjoy it however you'd eat peanut butter. It makes two half-pint jars - give one as a gift and save one for yourself.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 can(s) whole unsalted cashews, 8 oz
1/4 cup(s) cashews (pieces or whole if you want crunchy butter)
2 tablespoon(s) canola oil or vegetable oil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1-3 teaspoon(s) honey

Steps:

  • In a blender, add the can of cashews. Next, add the oil.
  • Add 1/4-1/2 teaspoonful of salt (depending on how salty you want it).
  • Then 1-3 teaspoonfuls of honey (depending on the sweetness you want).
  • Blend on chop for about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the blender with a spatula.
  • Then blend on puree for about 4-5 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. You can blend more depending on how smooth and creamy you want it. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
  • For crunchy butter, take 1/4 cup of cashews and chop with a chopper to make little pieces.
  • Stir into honey cashew butter.
  • **NOTE, you can leave the honey out, if you do not want sweet cashew butter. I would replace it with 2 additional teaspoonfuls of oil to make butter creamy.**
