Like nut butter, cashew butter is a homemade recipe worth making at home because it is easy. In addition, they are delicious and very healthy recipes.
You only need raw cashews and virgin coconut oil to give it a special touch. Likewise, you only need an oven and a mixer. Easy right?
A healthy recipe
It is a healthy recipe since the ingredients are natural and healthy. Likewise, we can buy cashews yearly as they are dry fruit. The same goes for coconut oil.
You can also buy these roasted nuts. However, I prefer to roast them at home to leave them to my liking. Also, freshly roasted, they are easier to grind.
On the other hand, extra virgin coconut oil is ideal for giving creaminess to these recipes. You can also use another oil, such as extra virgin olive.
Benefits of cashews
The cashew is a dried fruit that is ideal for our diet. It is usually eaten raw or roasted. We have to be careful not to add too much salt.

Ingredients
- 4 cups raw cashews
- Two tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil
Recipe Preparation
Preheat the oven to 160ºC and place the raw cashews on a medium-sized baking sheet. Spread the nuts evenly and toast them for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Place the cashews in a blender glass. Blend until a delicate dough is left. Add the coconut oil, beat for a few more minutes to get the desired consistency, and mix well.
Store in jars with a lid and store in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
I recommend using the recommended 4-cup serving in a regular blender glass. With more quantity, leaving a fine texture in the butter will be difficult.
When to have cashew butter?
Cashew butter is an ideal recipe with toast simply; it is delicious.
Also, we can use it as an ingredient in other recipes for sauces, salads or pastries.
