leahcarn Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have been experimenting at home with making my own nut butters, and I have found some are a lot easier than others, so thought this would be fun and a handy resource. Bearing in mind all machines may vary, help me make a list of how easy nut butters are to make. If you have made more than one, use their relative difficulties (time spent processing) to slot it in the list From easiest to hardest: Coconut Cashew Almond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImanAlAulaqi Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What is the recipe for the coconut one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecatsanova Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm allergic to ALL nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts, etc) so the only one I have experience making is sunflower seed butter. I make a jar every 1-2 weeks and I would rate it as a very easy recipe. The hardest thing is having the patience to grind it down into a butter! My sunflower seed butter takes 8-12 minutes for 7 servings. I do this twice to make a full mason jar of butter due to the size of my processor. I once made coconut butter and that was extremely simple as well. I use a Ninja food processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcarn Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thecatsanova, was sunflower longer or shorter time than coconut? Add it to the list The recipe for all of these is basically throw it in the food processor and wait, scraping the sides as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Are you roasting your nuts first Leah? I've heard that makes it easier. I wonder if my smoothie maker could handle but butter. .. probs not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcarn Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 No I'm not, but I have been buying a mixture of roasted and raw. Feel free to add roasted vs raw times to the list if they differ significantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted September 5, 2014 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted September 5, 2014 Not exactly related... but... I used to make my own coconut butter a lot because it was 10-12$ for a 16oz jar at the store. Then I found this at my local food coop. http://www.plummarket.com/home/let-s-do-organic-creamed-coconut-7oz.html?p_id=15723&vfsku=043182005258&gpla=pla&gclid=CLSp6tS8ysACFbTm7Aod_UsATA It has a bit more fat than the jarred coconut butters (I add to my coconut oil jar that I use as a moisturizer) so really the 7 oz package is maybe 5 oz of coconut butter. Near me it sells for 2.50 a package. So three packages is 7.50 - coconut by the pound is $5ish -plus the clean up and time to make it. So now I buy these packages. Just an FYI that there is a product out there for 1/2 the price of most jarred coconut butters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
