Brazil Nut Butter

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Store the Brazil nut butter in an airtight glass container at room temperature. It will last for up to 1 month.
