So we thought we'd jump on the nut butter wagon just to see HOW good home made nut butter actually is.
IT'S PRETTY DAMN GOOD.
WALNUT CINNAMON BUTTER
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
200-400g of Walnuts
1/2 a teaspoon of Cinnamon
Sugar / Syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
Instructions:
1. Place the walnuts into a food processor and process them on full power. This will take you about 10-15 minutes in total depending on how MACHO your food processor is (our's decided to heat/oversmoke after about 8 minutes!).
2. The nuts should start to become finely ground and bind together. Everything will look like it has gone wrong as the nuts start to clump into a dough-like consistency!
HAVE NO FEAR.
3. This is where your desired piece of cutlery (we chose a knife) comes in handy and saves the day.
In between every 2-3 minutes of processing you should stop the processor and scrape the nutty/doughy mixture from the sides of the container and then continue to process again.
You will soon start to become bored of nothing happening and think...
WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE WRONG?
WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE WRONG?
WAIT.
WAIT IT OUT.
4. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the nuts will start to ooze their natural oils and the mixture will form into a smooth paste. At this point add your cinnamon and preferred sweetener. Then continue to process until the nut butter reaches your desired consistency.
...et voila!
VERY simple and easy 100% natural home made nut butter.
