Homemade Cashew Almond Butter

3-Ingredient creamy nut butter made with cashews and almonds.

Cashew Almond Butter

Why hello there, creamy cashew almond butter that I could eat by the spoonfuls! Almond butter only gets better when you add lightly toasted cashews into the mix. The result is extra thick and creamy nut butter that makes a satisfying snack. Spread it on fruit, toss it in a smoothie, spread it on a toasted flourless waffle… eat a spoonful straight from the jar.

If you’re patient with grinding up the cashews and almonds, you’ll get a smooth, thick and creamy nut butter. But, if you’re having trouble getting it to process completely, or if it’s too thick, you can add 1-3 teaspoons of coconut oil during the blending process. I use my Vitamix with the tamper tool, and don’t need any oil to get a smooth consistency after about 3-5 minutes. Just be sure that the nuts are completely cool before you grind them up to avoid over heating your machine.

Homemade nut butter is super easy to make with a food processor or high speed blender, and it will save your wallet some extra cash. $14 for a good-quality jar of cashew or almond butter?! The price tag turns me away Every. Single. Time. You can make a jar of organic, sugar-free, oil-free cashew almond butter at home for about half the price!
