Similar to the Almond Butter post I did a while back, this time walnuts! I love to mix up the different nut butters and try different ones. This recipe makes a tasty and creamy nut butter.
I have figured out walnut butters perfect pairing for a great snack- dates! Dates stuffed with creamy walnut butter is like caramel and toffee heaven. Way better than any refined sugar alternative you would find in the supermarket.
Ingredients:
This makes around one and a half small jars.
2 cups walnuts
2 tsp walnut oil
¼ tsp salt
Cinnamon to taste
Small amount of Agave Nectar (Optional)
Instructions:
Walnut butter can be made using raw, soaked or roasted walnuts. I prefer using raw walnuts (plus this is much quicker).
Put all the walnuts in a food processor along with the oil. Blend until smooth and paste-like (see photo). Keep bringing it down from the sides while the walnuts are first blending.
Add more walnut oil if you prefer a more liquid butter. Add the salt, cinnamon and agave if adding and blend once more.
Tuck in and enjoy!! Store the nut butter in an airtight container and will last in the fridge for a good couple of weeks! I like to store in old nut butter glass jars.
