Time 1h25m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup coarsely chopped unsalted raw pecans
1/2 cup coarsely chopped unsalted raw walnuts
1/2 cup unsalted raw cashew nuts
1/4 cup unsalted raw peanuts
1/4 cup unsalted raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Kosher salt
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup coarsely chopped dried pineapple
1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or granulated sugar
Crunchy topping, such as toasted coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips, crushed banana chips, peanut butter chips or favorite cereal, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Put the pecans, walnuts, cashews, peanuts and sunflower seeds on the prepared baking sheet and roast until fragrant and barely golden, about 6 minutes. Cool the nuts and seeds for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the nuts and seeds to a food processor and add the coconut oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary with a rubber spatula, until smooth, 4 to 7 minutes. The nut mixture will go from coarsely chopped, to fine meal, to clumpy ball, to smooth and creamy. Once the nut butter is smooth, add the raisins, pineapple and sweetener of choice and blend until the raisins and pineapple are finely chopped, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer the nut butter to a medium bowl, cover and allow to cool fully, about 1 hour. Once the nut butter is cool, serve with a crunchy topping of choice or transfer to an airtight container for storage. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or at room temperature for up to 1 week.
