Cashew butter with roasted cashews
Roasted cashews can be blended into a delicious creamy nut butter, ideal for spreading on toast or adding to smoothies & sips.
- 2 cups Lion roasted cashews
- 1-2 tbsp oil (such as grapeseed or vegetable oil), optional (for a creamier texture)
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- Blend the roasted cashews in a high-speed blender or mixer. If you prefer a creamier texture, add 1-2 tablespoons of neutral oil at this stage.
- Blend the cashews quickly, scraping down the sides as needed until they break down and release their oils.
- Continue blending until the cashews reach a smooth and creamy consistency similar to peanut butter.
- Once the cashew butter is smooth and creamy, store it in a clean jar or airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
- Enjoy your homemade cashew butter spread on toast, drizzled over oatmeal, or used in your favourite recipes!
