Natural Cashew Butter

Whenever you are reaching for breakfast to start your day or a snack to keep you going for the rest of your afternoon, you need something healthy and filling.

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 This is an affiliate link.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.

    Are the cashews roasted, raw, raw and soaked? Thank you!

    1. vikalinka says:

      Hi Moira, the cashews should be roasted

  2. Nancy 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.

  4. Susan gricks says:

    How long will this keep ?

    1. 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.

      1. Sue says:

        Why keep refrigerated? No ingredient is cold critical.

        1. vikalinka says:

          Nuts could turn rancid pretty quickly, however if you eat it within a week I am sure it will be fine.

    Looks delicious ^_^ But.. Can I use it to frost cakes and cupcakes?

    1. 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Julie says:

    If you soak raw cashews overnight they process beautifully – I’m gonna make this recipe tomorrow!

    1. 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!

  7. Thalia @ butter and brioche says:

    i definitely will be taking this idea to recreate in my kitchen.. love my almond butter and raw peanut paste – but ive never made cashew butter before. yum!

  8. Katya @ Little Broken says:

    This looks awesome Vika! I’ve been on almond butter and hot tea kick lately! This looks awesome.

  9. Laura (Tutti Dolci) says:

  10. Jennifer @ Seasons and Suppers says:
