The oil separation is a natural occurrence that happens due to the difference in density between the oil and the solid nut particles. But of course, you could use just one nut to make 100% almond butter, cashew butter or pecan butter. I started in the food processor and after a few minutes it became really hot -both the machine and the nuts. Who would of thought that adding 3 -4 dry nuts after roasting will turn into a butter a soft substance?

Blend for 1 minute, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades, or until desired consistency is reached. on Q2) Yeh I know it might be intense, but I’m trying to really load up the flax instead of the flax granola I’m being asked to eat for a diet routine. Do you think I can roast the nuts blended in the oven for a few minutes and then try to blend them again? I have roasted the left over nuts right after the cake came out of the oven and now there is a jar of delicious nut butter on my counter.Hi Chuck, it could be that either your blender isn’t powerful enough, it needed to blend for longer, or there wasn’t enough volume to cover the blades (though that shouldn’t be an issue with 2 cups). The almonds will go from flour-like clumps, to a ball against the side of the food processor (keep scraping down the sides and breaking up the ball), and finally, it will turn lusciously creamy. I’ve always added coconut oil to my raw cashew butter, but after making your nut butter, I will not add the oil anymore.

Q2) If I wanted to make just straight flax butter (not sure I’ve ever heard of anyone doing that) … I guess I should definitely roast those to break down the shells, for digestibility, then blend? The combination we used of nuts (almonds, cashews and walnuts) was so flavorful that it didn’t need anything more! We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.I am going to go for 10 jars now, for friends and family, and will drop the smidge of honey and salt that I used the first time. You are going to mix the nuts for at least 10 minutes and the nuts will get pretty sticky after a while, so your food processor will get hot. I baked my nuts a little too long so my first attempt has a slight burnt taste that bothers the hubs more than it bothers me.

I added about a tablespoon of olive oil to it (did not blend it, just stirred well with a spoon) and it helped it be a little less clumpy. It will have a fine powder texture at first but just be patient and let the food processor do its magic.

Roasting the nuts serves two purposes: it brings out the flavor, and heating the nuts helps them to break down when blending.

The spices and maple syrup will react with the nut butter making it slightly less creamy which is why you don’t want to stir it around too much. Perhaps I should have blended longer, because as soon as I added my add-ins (vanilla, honey, salt, cinnamon) the mixture went back to a cookie dough clumpy consistency.
