Cashew nut butter

Once you've made your own, you'll never go back! I'm a complete convert to making my own nut butters, they're so much smoother, cheaper and tastier. Try them stirred into overnight oats (recipe here), smoothies or even quinoa. Next I'm going to try adding some coconut oil and dates as suggested by Deliciously Ella - sounds utterly amazing!! 

Ingredients

• 2 cups of cashew nuts

• 1 serious food processor

Method

• You'll need a 'proper' food processor like a Magimix, or Heston Sage to make any kind of nut butter as the small ones aren’t powerful enough unfortunately.

• Put all the nuts in the processor and blend for around 4-5 minutes, or until smooth. Cashews don't take very long.

• Store in an air-tight container.
