Espresso Almond Cashew Butter
Author: Laura @ www.abeautifulplate.com
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150 grams) raw whole almonds
-
1 cup (150 grams) raw whole cashews
-
1 tablespoon whole espresso beans
-
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or pure vanilla extract)
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon pure dark maple syrup (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven 176 degrees with a rack positioned in the center. Spread the almonds and cashews evenly on a half sheet pan. Toast for 10 – 12 minutes, tossing them halfway through, or until the nuts are lightly golden and fragrant.
- Allow the nuts to cool for 1 to 2 minutes and then transfer them to a large food processor bowl fitted with a blade attachment. Add the espresso beans. If you have a high-powered blender you can use this instead of a food processor.
- Process the nut/espresso mixture until it is coarse and clumpy. Once it clumps, it will form a ball and quickly begin to become smooth. Scrape down the bowl with a spatula every few minutes. Continue processing until the nuts release all of their oils and the butter is loose, smooth, and can easily drizzle from the end of a spoon. Depending on the power of your food processor, this process may take 5 to 15 minutes total.
- Add the vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract), salt, and maple syrup (if using) and process for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the nut butter to a small glass container, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
