How to Make Macadamia Nut Butter

  1. Toast your nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool slightly.
  2. Add the toasted nuts to a food processor. Process for 1-2 minutes until the nuts are coarsely ground.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the food processor. Continue processing, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the nut butter reaches your desired consistency (this may take 5-10 minutes, depending on your food processor and the type of nut).
  4. Add a pinch of salt (optional) and blend for another 30 seconds.
  5. Transfer the nut butter to a clean, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for longer storage.
