Ingredients
- 2 cupsraw cashews
- 1/2 teaspoonsalt
- 1 tablespooncoconut oilmelted
- 1 tablespoonhoney
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread 2 cups raw cashews in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the cashews 10 to 12 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan once halfway through, until they are lightly browned and smell toasted.
Remove cashews from the oven and let them cool for 5–10 minutes so they are warm but not hot.
Transfer the cashews to a large food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Process the cashews, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until they begin to release their oils and form a smooth, creamy butter—about 5 to 10 minutes total.
With the processor running, slowly stream in 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon honey. Continue processing until the butter reaches your desired smoothness, scraping the bowl once or twice.
Transfer the cashew butter to an airtight container or mason jar. Let cool to room temperature, seal, and store. Enjoy!
