Biona Organic Mixed Nut Butter 170 g (Pack of 3)

Product Information

I hope you feel enticed to try and make nut butter at home and find your own special favourite blend! The only problem: I preemptively added ~1 tbsp of hazelnut oil thinking they’d be difficult to blend without the aid of some oil…and now my butter is pretty loose in texture. I’ve successfully made almond butter in my Cuisinart food processor and my Vitamix blender (affiliate links).

Blend into soups, salad dressings and sauces for savoury dishes and don’t be afraid to use in baking. I did a mix with everything I had: almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, and hemp hearts, then added vanilla extract and cinnamon for the mix-ins. It will have a fine powder texture at first but just be patient and let the food processor do its magic.I always make my own nut butters but having a hard time figuring out the nutritional info after they’re done especially when a sweetener has been added. As I mentioned previously (when I made homemade roasted almond butter), there’s going to be a point when you are mixing the ingredients up and you think it’s not going to come together.

But be careful: don’t add maple syrup or honey or the nut butter will seize up and become very thick!We’d recommend leaning more toward nuts that are creamy and fairly neutral in flavor such as almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, and macadamia nuts. It only takes a couple minutes, start on the highest setting, use the tamper the ENTIRE time its running and if the pitcher gets too warm to the touch at the base shut it down and start again. I used this recipe to make mixed nut butter from the Whole Foods mix (l almonds, some peanuts and hazelnuts, some walnuts, a few brazil nuts). Overheated it for the first time in 30 years, and a Vita Mix does not make it easy to get the food down on/near the blade.
