Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups nuts (raw) I used equal parts almonds, walnuts, and pecans
  • 1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread out nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until fragrant. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Allow nuts to cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Add cooled nuts to food processor and blend for 5 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Depending on your machine, the nut butter may be smooth by now. If not, you can continue blending until you reach a smooth consistency. If you have already reached the desired level of smoothness, add in salt and maple syrup now.
  • Continue blending until the nut butter smooths out again.
  • Transfer to desired storage container and enjoy! It will keep at room temperature.
