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

Scale
  • 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: cinnamonvanilla extract, and/or coconut oilto taste, see Notes

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
