Ingredients:

• 2 cups Raw Cashew
• 1 tbsp of Grapeseed/Vegetable Oil
• Salt (optional)
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup

Procedure:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
2. Spread the raw cashews evenly on a baking sheet.
3. Roast them for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Be sure to stir them once or twice during the process to ensure even roasting.
4. Allow the roasted cashews to cool slightly.
5. Transfer them to a food processor.
6. Blend the cashews at a high speed, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula. The cashews will go through several stages, from crumbly to clumpy and eventually to a smooth, creamy texture.
7. If needed, add a tbsp of neutral-tasting oil to reach your desired consistency. The oil will enhance the creaminess.
8. For a touch of sweetness, add the maple syrup.
9. If you like, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Adjust to your taste preference.
10. Transfer the homemade cashew butter to an airtight container, such as a glass jar.
11. Seal it well and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks.
12. Spread this creamy cashew butter on your morning toast, blend it into smoothies, or use it as a dip for apple slices and celery. The possibilities are endless!
13. Now you have a delectable jar of homemade cashew butter ready to elevate your meals and snacks. It's a healthier alternative to store-bought versions, and you can adjust the sweetness and creaminess to suit your taste. Delight in this pure, nutty goodness that you created with your own hands.
