Homemade Nut Butter

Makes about 1/2 cup.

What you need:

• 1 cup nuts, toasted
• 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons honey
• A pinch of salt

What to do:

• Toast nuts at 350F for about 10 – 15 minutes.
• Remove nuts from the oven and let them cool to room temperature on baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, whisk together vegetable oil and honey. Set aside.
• Pour the nuts into the food blender/food processor. Add in a generously pinch of salt. Turn it on and let it blend for a few minutes.
• When nuts get blended into a fine crumb texture, slowly drizzle in vegetable oil and honey mixture. Let the blender run until you get a smooth, creamy consistency (takes about 2 – 3 minutes). If the nut butter is too thick for your taste, thin it out by adding in just a little bit more oil.
• Taste the walnut butter and add more honey to taste.
• Transfer to an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator (use it up as soon as possible for best quality).
