Cashew Butter


Hey guys!

So.. you think peanut butter is good? Well... let me tell you that this cashew butter is a 100 times better!
It's so sweet and creamy!! I have been making it for good few years now and it's one of my favourite snacks, especially when I feel like eating something sweet. I used to use sunflower oil to prepare it but this time I decided to experiment with my fave coconut oil and must say it came out even better!

Ingredients:
  • Raw cashew nuts (I used 500g but depends how much cashew butter you want!)
  • Melted coconut oil (coconut oil melts in the temperature higher than 24C so if you ned to melt it, just pop the jar in the sink under hot water for few mintes)
Method:

Simply put cashews in the blender and blend until they start getting smooth (also depends if you like your butter smooth, I like it with bits so that it's a little bit crunchy) then add coconut oil to the blender and keep on blending, you will also see how much to add as you keep on blending, so add small amount first. Taste if you need to! Everyone likes their cashew butter different so you need to find your own preference!

I love to do cashew butter wraps with wholewheat tortillas or put some cashew butter on oat cakes, you can also spread it on toast or add it to smoothies!

I'm sure you will love it as much as I do!

Bon apetite!
