Nut Butter

Roasted Cashew Butter

1 lb. raw cashews

1 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp vegetable oil

3/8 tsp salt

Spread the cashews in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 325F for 18-22 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure that they don't burn. Allow the cashews to cool, then add to a food processor along with the coconut oil and salt. Process for 30 seconds, then scrape down the sides and continue to process while drizzling in the vegetable oil, until a smooth paste forms. 

Peanut Butter

1 lb. roasted peanuts

1 tbsp coconut oil

1-2 tbsp vegetable oil as needed

salt as needed

Add the peanuts to a food processor. If dry roasted, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. (If oil roasted, only add the peanuts.) Process for 1 minute. Add the coconut oil, then process for another minute. If needed, add additional vegetable oil. If peanuts were unsalted, add salt to taste.
