Ingredients for this recipe
- Brazil Nuts: I used raw unsalted brazil nuts in this recipe. You can also buy them roasted if you would like to skip the quick roasting step. Brazil nuts can be purchased online or at your local grocery store, such as Sprouts.
How to make this recipe
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread brazil nuts on a pan and bake for 5 minutes.
- In food processor, blend roasted brazil nuts in intervals so machine does not overheat and seeds don’t get too hot (check every 1 minute or so depending on your blender).
- This process will take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes depending on the power of your machine.
- You will first notice the nuts are chopping up. They will then become more crumbly. They will then turn into a clumpy mixture (wetter). They will then become smooth and creamy. The longer your blend, the smoother the consistency will be.
- Transfer to air-tight container or glass jar. Store brazilian nut butter in refrigerator.
