Walnut Butter
Homemade nut butters are super easy to make, and you get to control what you put into it!
Recipe adapted from Cooking Light, August 2007
- Make walnut butter by grinding until a paste is formed, approximately 5 minutes, in a food processor:
- 3 cups walnuts
- If using a mini food processor, the motor may not be powerful enough to make a pourable nut butter.
- For a smoother consistency, add one teaspoon at a time:
- 1-2 tsp oil (optional)
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups walnuts
- 1-2 tsp oil (optional)
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10-15 mins.
Cook Time: 0 mins
Servings: 6-8
Serving Size: yields approx. 2 cups
Serving Suggestions: Also try with peanuts, cashews, almonds and pecans. Great for baking, like Gluten-Free Brownies, and in savory dishes like Walnut & Cannellini Bean Dip.
*Alternately, start with ¼ cup (60 ml) prepared walnut butter. For softer nuts, you can also use a blender. Nuts can also be ground down using a mortar and pestle.
