Ingredients
raw brazil nuts (240 g)
2tablespooncoconut oilmelted
1teaspooncacao powder
1teaspoonmaple syrup
salt2 generous pinches
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the raw Brazil nuts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 6 minutes, or until fragrant.
Let the nuts cool for a couple of minutes, then place them in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the nuts break down into a smooth butter. This can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your equipment.
Add the coconut oil, cacao powder, maple syrup, and salt to the blender or food processor. Blend until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth. You may need to stop the blender or food processor occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Store the Brazil nut butter in an airtight glass container at room temperature. It will last for up to 1 month.
Notes
Roasting the nuts before blending enhances their natural flavors and oils and helps create a creamier end product.
Use a high-speed blender or food processor to ensure a smooth consistency.
The nut butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Brazil nut butter can be used in a variety of ways, such as spreading it on toast, using it as a dip, adding it to smoothies, or using it as a filling for energy balls or protein bars.
