Cashew Nut Butter

Hi Gents

So, I’ve gotten pretty bored peanut butter in my diet and went looking for alternatives. I found a cashew nut butter recipe HERE .

Made some last night and it’s pretty good.

It’s pretty easy. Grind nuts to powder, grind more and it starts clumping. Instead of adding the oil like the recipe, I added some coconut oil. Heated it a bit then combined them together and a bit of salt.



Macros per 100g came to P: 13.3g, C: 28.5g, F: 53.16

Will try some almonds tonight

Shucks - that looks tasty with a capital T

It is pretty tasty, FB.

Just a little tip for almonds: they’re a drier than the cashews so maybe don’t use coconut oil. I found that I had to add more than I wanted. Try something with a more neutral flavor and a bit more runny. Will see how pure MCT oil is, but haven't tasted it before so will have to see.

Looks yummy. I've been keen to try make my own for ages now.

What blender did you use?

Maybe soak the almonds for few hours...im sure i read a butter recipe and they soaked the nuts over night. I'll look for it and post it on here. In my inbox somewhere....

My nice blender broke :-C only have my first old cheepo.

Hi B_O

I'm using a cheapie as well. Some Logik thing I got from Game.



If you use the coffee mill, I wouldn't go over 250g at a time.

If I remember correctly, water would make it go off quicker.

Where do you get your MCT Oil from?

No idea where my recipe is in my email but i know the Well.I.Am challenge that running now, they were all given a blender with a nut butter recipe.

I'm going to try make some this weekend.

AND for the peeps who can't drink coffee without milk, you can even make your own almond milk need some cloth thing which you can buy at most health shops.

Hi guys,

Anyone been using this cashew nut butter recipe?

All you need is Cashews or Almonds and macadamia nut oil. Very easy to make. You just need to blend the nuts for a long time until it's nicely mashed up, then add oil and blend until it's almost like peanut butter. Macadamia nut oil's flavour goes very well with it.

This sounds awesome. Gonna give this a shot definitely.
Looks yum. Thanks MA

I make the nut butters myself too. Much tastier! And I add lots Canderel and some heavy cream.

I bought some nut butter but I believe it should be better homemade. Also, anyone know where I can source some MCT oil from in SA?

Recently made my own nut butter from cashews, flaxseed, sesame seeds and a tiny bit of peanuts. No additional oil used - just a lot of patience. Was so good I made more to give away as "tasters". Ummm, good fats!

Sounds brilliant Furk.
I feel even a teaspoon by itself takes cravings for crap away.
