This simple homemade nut butter is a versatile, high-protein staple that far surpasses shop-bought versions in both flavour and freshness. By roasting raw nuts until they are deeply golden, you unlock a rich, toasted aroma that carries through to the finished spread. Whether you choose almonds, cashews or hazelnuts, the process relies entirely on the natural oils within the nuts to create a silky, pourable texture without the need for any palm oil or additives.

Ideal for a nutritious breakfast or a post-workout snack, this recipe is a brilliant addition to a healthy balanced diet. It works beautifully drizzled over a bowl of warm porridge, spread onto sourdough toast, or used as a savoury base for satay-style dressings. Making your own nut butter is an easy way to control exactly what goes into your food while ensuring a superior, creamy result every time.

Ingredients for Nut Butter

300g (about 280g) shelled raw nuts

How to make Nut Butter

Preheat the oven to 149°C / 180°C.

Spread the nuts out in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and slightly darker in colour, 20 to 30 minutes. A good way to check if they are ready is to bite one in half and check the colour in the centre—instead of white or cream coloured, it should be golden. Remove from the oven. If using hazelnuts, rub them together to remove their bitter skins. Let cool completely.

Transfer the nuts to a food processor and blend on the high setting until finely ground to a powder, 1 to 2 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides of the container. Continue to process until the oils start to be released and a smooth, creamy, runny paste is formed, 1 to 2 minutes. (Times vary depending on your machine, but it will work! Just keep blending; there’s no need to add any oil.)

Transfer the nut butter to an airtight glass container and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for 1 month.
