ABC Butter From Heaven

I apologise for being AWOL recently! I've had a few health flare ups that I've had to deal with, but then I realised- what better way to deal with them than getting back to eating a high nutrient density diet? Nut butters have been a bit of an obsession for me recently- classic peanut and almond butter, cinnamon & vanilla pecan butter, and now... ABC butter. Why 'from heaven,' you ask? Because this stuff somehow manages to be fluffy, smooth, and creamy all at once. It must have fallen from heaven. Just try it and then we'll talk!

ABC Butter From Heaven
Fills 1 200mL capacity jar

Ingredients:

• 100g raw almonds
• 100g raw brazil nuts
• 100g raw cashews
• 1/4 tsp himalayan salt
• 2 tbsp melted extra virgin coconut oil
• 1/2 tbsp raw honey (or maple syrup/raw agave for strict vegans)
• 1-2 tbsp water

Method: 

1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius on fan bake (300 degrees Fahrenheit). 
2. Spread the nuts on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes to intensify the flavours - if you want this to be an entirely raw nut butter, you can skip this step. However, I personally much prefer the flavour of roasted nut butters. 
3. Place the nuts and remaining ingredients in a Vitamix or other high speed blender and blend on the highest setting until the nut butter has a light and fluffy texture similar to wasabi paste. 
4. Transfer the nut butter to a food processor and process until totally smooth, usually about 15 minutes, scraping down as needed. 
5. Pop the nut butter in a jar and enjoy! This makes a wonderful mix-in for smoothies or as a topping for homemade granola.
