Natural Cashew Butter
Nutter butters on wholegrain toast is one of the best things you can fuel yourself with. Making them at home is the easiest thing in the world. Let me show how you can whip up Cashew Butter in a matter of minutes.
All you need for this recipe is a food processor or a blender with a powerful motor, that is built for such things. Otherwise it will not get the job done and might burn in the process.
Another thing you will need is roasted cashew nuts. Or use a blend of nuts for a more interesting flavour.
Using roasted cashews will leave you with the most delicious and smooth cashew butter.However, add a touch of honey and cinnamon, you will end up with something truly incredible.
This nut butter tastes truly luxurious. It elevates my plain, everyday toast to an incredible height of sophistication. Can you imagine what it does to a croissant? I will let you figure it out on your own.
Recipe Tips
- Use a powerful food processor or a blender like for this recipe to avoid disappointment.
- Roasted cashews turn into a spreadable butter much easier than raw nuts.
- I used honey and cinnamon to flavour my cashew butter but you can add anything you like.
- Vanilla, maple syrup, agave nectar will all work wonderfully.
- Add a touch of coconut oil for an extra creamy texture and a beautiful flavour. This is optional.
- Keep this cashew butter refrigerated to avoid it going rancid. It will keep well up to 3 months.

That makes me so happy! Thank you for a lovely review, Sarah!

Hi this looks so lovely I just need to know what 1 serving would be – 1 tablespoon perhaps? thank you!
Julia Frey (Vikalinka) says
Hi Maisie, it’s closer 3 tablespoons. The recipes makes 20 servings, so if you divide the entire recipe into 20 portions, you will get your serving.
Jim says
I made this concoction on the recommendation of Canadian Country Music star, Kira Isabella. Her suggestions are usually outstanding. And, this one is no different. My nephew and one of my cats absolutely loved it!
Moira says
Are the cashews roasted, raw, raw and soaked? Thank you!
vikalinka says
Hi Moira, the cashews should be roasted
Nancy says
How many cups of nuts are in 600g ?
vikalinka says
4 cups of nuts, Nancy.
Alison Haines says
Loved this cashew butter! too delicious for words. I soaked the cashews in water for a few hours before processing with the cinnamon, honey, coconut butter and salt.
Susan gricks says
How long will this keep ?
vikalinka says
It will keep in the fridge up to 3-4 weeks. Mine is usually gone within that time so I can’t tell if it can keep longer.
Sue says
Why keep refrigerated? No ingredient is cold critical.
vikalinka says
Nuts could turn rancid pretty quickly, however if you eat it within a week I am sure it will be fine.
Engy M. Altaweel says
Looks delicious ^_^ But.. Can I use it to frost cakes and cupcakes?
vikalinka says
Wow, great idea but unfortunately, it doesn’t quite have the texture of a frosting. It might have to be adapted for this to happen but that’s a reason for another recipe. π
Julie says
If you soak raw cashews overnight they process beautifully – I’m gonna make this recipe tomorrow!
vikalinka says
Really? Thank you for the tip, Julie! I also learned later that if cashews are roasted first they will release oils much better so will have to try both soaking and roasting and see what works better!
