Description
Ready for the ultimate guide to homemade nut butter? Say goodbye to expensive store-bought nut butter and hello to homemade goodness! Here are 15+ easy vegan and gluten-free nut and seed butter recipes to whip up asap! Enjoy these flavored nut butters mixed into oatmeal, as an açai bowl topping, or with a slice of sourdough bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup raw almonds
- ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: cinnamon, vanilla extract, and/or coconut oil, to taste, see Notes
Instructions
- Combine the pecans, cashews, almonds, and sunflower seeds in your food processor or high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix). Process for about 3-6 minutes, scraping down as necessary. Your time might be shorter if you’re using a high-powered blender – it will take a little bit longer in the food processor and require more scraping down.
- When the nuts have broken down into smooth, creamy butter, add the chia seeds, salt, and cinnamon, and/or vanilla extract, if you’re using. Process to incorporate, and taste. Adjust add-ins as desired. If it’s not blending up as smoothly or thinly as you want, add a little bit of coconut oil here.
- Transfer to a glass jar or two (like a mason or Weck jar) and store for 2-3 months.
Notes
I like a lot of cinnamon in my nut butter, so I used a little more than a tablespoon of it. I salted to taste. Also, you can always use toasted nuts if that’s your preference!
I am in the process of choosing recipes to make at the California state fair in uly. I have some fancy chocolate molds. Would your nut butter recipes make a good filling for bon bon chocolates?
Hi Jennine, yes they’d all be fabulous additions to the inside of a bon bon chocolate – sounds delicious! Good luck at the fair :)
Rachel,
I made this recipe this evening and it is the most delicious nut/seed butter that I have ever eaten. Thank you so much.
I used walnuts instead of pecans cause that is what I have.
I will share this recipe ei the pace I get my vitamin from if that is okay.
I heard 2 nights ago that the toasting of nuts kills all the vitamins & minerals.
Woohoo!! So glad you love the recipe, Laura.
I will never buy nut or seed butter again!! I made the Maple Almond Butter and just love it. I can see myself making all of these great recipes and giving jars as gifts! Thanks so much!
One of my favorites! So glad you’re loving it, Ann. Thanks for the review!
