Ingredients
- 1lb. Macadamia Nuts
- 4 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 2 Tbsp. Erythritol
- 1 Mason Jar
Instructions
- Measure out 1 pound of macadamia nuts. If you don’t have a food scale I highly suggest one!
- Put your nuts into the food processor.
- Start processing them! Grind the nuts up as good as you can.
- You’ll see the nuts starting to rise up the side of the food processor. You can use a silicon spatula to scrape it off the side of the good processor to make sure it gets a consistent texture.
- Continue to process the nuts in the food processor. You’ll start to see the natural oils coming out and creating a more creamy mixture.
- Continue to scrape the sides as the nut butter rises up.
- Once finished you should have quite a creamy consistency.
- Add your coconut oil and erythritol. This is to help it become a spreadable mixture, but it also helps it setup in the fridge. The erythritol is just for a slight sweet tinge and you can skip this step, or you can add different flavors of your liking.
- Continue to process the mixture until it becomes a very smooth and creamy mixture.
- You can now portion our your nut butter. You can either stick it in a Tupperware container, or you can use mason jars. I opt for mason jars because they can be sealed and in my personal experience do better with food storage.
