This cream-colored Coconut Cashew Butter is smooth, easy-to-make, and addicting to eat. It’s made with just a few simple ingredients.
I usually keep raw, unsalted cashews in my pantry for future non-dairy recipes. This time around, I wanted to try something different.
Well, let’s be honest, making cashew butter is not really different now, is it? However, for me, it is.
You see, I never really buy cashew butter at the store.
Why do you ask?
It’s challenging to find a high-quality cashew butter that’s affordable, without loads of sugar and refined oils. Knowing that I am having a clean version in my hands, I am going to enjoy this nut butter in so many different ways!
How to Enjoy Homemade Cashew Butter
Though the number of ways one could enjoy this creamy spread is endless, here are some ways to enjoy it.
- Drizzle over a hot bowl of oatmeal
- Smear on toast with sliced banana
- Make cookies or cupcakes
- Add into smoothies
- Eat it with a spoon 🙃
How to Make Coconut Cashew Butter
| Raw Cashews | I prefer to use raw cashews, however, feel free to use what you can find. |
| Unrefined Raw Coconut Oil | The smell of raw coconut oil is so coconutty and will add a nice coconut flavor. |
| Optional Sweetener | Honey, agave nectar or pure maple syrup will all work well. |
| Sea Salt | Whether aiming for salty or sweet nut butter, adding salt is always a good idea to properly season the ingredients and bring out their natural flavors. |
Do you want to know something exciting?
Making cashew butter is way faster than making traditional peanut butter. Yay!
I like to drizzle melted coconut oil down the pipe as its processing. If you like your nut butter more in the chunkier side, process less. If you like it really smooth and creamy, process more. You’re going to do great!

Shop for the ingredients beforehand. When you shop ahead, you are less likely to swap out ingredients for what you don’t have, thus creating a complete recipe fail. I know you are going to do great!
