Description

Learn how to make Brazil nut butter in two simple steps. Tasty and versatile, it can be served with fruits, used as a spread on toast or crackers, added to smoothies or baked goods, or used as a substitute for other nut butters in recipes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups raw brazil nuts
  • pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the raw Brazil nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
  3. Let the nuts cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender along with the salt, if using.
  4. Blend the nuts for a few minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed. At first, the nuts will turn into a fine meal, then they will start to clump together and form a paste. Continue blending and be careful not to overheat the machine. Be patient, as it may take several minutes.
  5. Once the Brazil nut butter reaches your desired consistency, anywhere from smooth and creamy to slightly chunky, transfer it to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. You may need to stir the nut butter before you use it.

Notes

Recipe modifications: You can add a variety of delicious flavors to your nut butters, such as cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or even spicy chili flakes for a unique and flavorful twist. Check the blog post to see more ideas.

Overall, a food processor or high-speed blender are the most common and versatile tools for making nut butter at home. For reference, I used my KitchenAid food processor. I have also prepared it in my Vitamix with excellent results.

Don’t reduce the quantity of nuts when using a high-capacity blender or food processor. You need a minimum amount of nuts to ensure the blades work properly.
