Ingredients
- 3 cups walnuts
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- generous pinch of salt
- Sprinkling of Stevia extract
Preparation
Step 1
When making nut butters, always choose fresh nuts and store them in the freezer until ready to use. Nuts are high in natural oils and can go rancid when stored at room temperature.
If your nut butter looks too firm to you, you might add a bit of nut oil to get the desired consistency.
Working with a food processor to make your nut butter will give a grainier product while an industrial strength blender will give a smoother, creamier product
.
Place the walnuts in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the regular cutting blade. Process the nuts. After about 30 seconds it will begin to resemble graham cracker crumbs. After about 45 seconds stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Continue processing. After about 1-1/2 minutes, the ground nuts will come together into a ball. Taste the nut butter and add the seasonings, adjusting as you see fit. Some people like a sweeter or a saltier product. Make it the way you like it.
