Homemade Honey Roasted Mixed Nut Butter

Homemade honey roasted mixed nut butter! SO addicting. Creamy, sweet, and salty. Simply put: nut butter HEAVEN. You know it’s good when it’s so easy to just eat by the spoonful!

You guys. First nut butter recipe!! 🙂 As mentioned in my “about me,” I am hopelessly addicted to nut butter. For sure one of my favorite foods…along with dark chocolate. Pro tip: try spreading this on a pice of dark chocolate. You can thank me later.

Have you ever tried making homemade nut butter before? While there are so many amazing brands and varieties of store-bought nut butters these days, they don’t hold a candle to homemade. LIFE CHANGING. Seriously, homemade nut butter is so fresh and has such a greater depth of flavor that you just have to experience for yourself. You probably won’t ever want to go back to store-bought after eating homemade! Also, nut butters can definitely be pricey…especially if they are made with nuts other than peanuts. Homemade is definitely cheaper which is just a bonus!

This recipe simply could not be easier to make. You really only need one ingredient: honey roasted mixed nuts. While the mixed nuts taste amazing, I have also tried this using just honey roasted peanuts. Honey roasted peanuts can be easier to find than honey roasted mixed nuts. Adding the tablespoon of neutral-tasting oil is optional, but I recommend adding it as I like my nut butter smooth, creamy, and drippy.

This nut butter is amazing on anything you try it on. I’ve yet to find something that doesn’t go well with it. I can personally vouch it will be the best dip for apples, perfect on toast with sliced bananas, on top of oatmeal, a smoothie bowl topper, mixed with Greek yogurt, your classic PB&J (never too old for that…), on top of dark chocolate as previously mentioned, and simply eaten by the spoonful if all else fails.

You can use either a food processor or a high speed blender to make this. My husband, Chris, bought me a Vitamix for Christmas this past year…which is hands-down one of my favorite gifts EVER. Dream kitchen appliance right there. BUT, using a food processor works well too! It just will likely take a bit longer to process. I hope you already have a food processor at home…if not, it’s worth buying one just for this recipe. And for all of the nut butter recipes to come in the future 🙂

Recipe type: Nut butter

Serves: approximately 1 cup nut butter

Ingredients

• 2 cups honey roasted mixed nuts (can substitute honey roasted peanuts)
• 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Add nuts to high speed blender (such as a Vitamix) or food processor. Process until the nuts have broken down into a paste. You will need to use the tamper (if using a blender) or spatula (if using food processor) to scrape down the sides. Add in the oil and continue to process until a smooth, creamy nut butter forms. This will take a total of approximately 3-5 minutes if using a Vitamix, but may take up to 10-15 minutes if using a food processor. Store in fridge to keep fresh.*
2. *Homemade nut butter never lasts long in our house, even if I'm the only one eating it! Homemade nut butter should easily keep for up to 1 month if covered/sealed tightly and kept in refrigerator. However, I doubt it will last that long! This usually disappears within a week 🙂
