Cinnamon Coconut Cashew Butter

October 15, 2012 by Julie 64 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

For my fellow nut butter lovers out there, I have a little somethin’ up my sleeve today that might make you smile.

Cinnamon Coconut Cashew Butter.

But we’ll get to that in a second.

First, let’s talk lunch!

After working through the morning, I opened the fridge to search for something to prepare for lunch and found nothing of interest. I grabbed my keys and headed out to the grocery store to pick up some food for the week and return a few books to the library.

I stopped by Earth Origins for a few things and grabbed a Hawaiian chicken salad wrap for lunch while I was there.

Since I previously had a good experience with their tuna salad wrap, I figured the chicken salad would be a winner as well and it ended up being a great selection. The wrap had slivered almonds and bits of pineapple in it which I liked a lot.

My main motivation for heading into Earth Origins was ransacking their bulk bins. They sell “bits and pieces” of raw cashews that cost significantly less than the whole raw cashews I’ve found anywhere else. Ryan and I buy them all the time and love to eat them by the handful or turn them into raw cashew butter.

Judging by the title of this blog post, I’m assuming you can guess what I did with them today!

I made a batch of raw cashew butter with a hint of cinnamon and coconut flavor and cannot stop eating this stuff by the spoonful this afternoon.

Nutiva coconut oil

I incorporated Nutiva organic extra virgin coconut oil that I got from my friends at GNC into the nut butter and loved the punch of coconut flavor that added. Coconut oil solidifies at temperatures below 76 degrees, but since our house is a hot box, this jar has never hardened in our pantry, making it perfect for cooking and adding a splash or two to nut butters!

  • A high-powered food processor is necessary. I’ve tried making nut butter in a small, low-powered food processor before and it lacked the smooth, creamy consistency of nut butter even after I processed the nuts for a long time. (For this recipe, I used my Cuisinart Prep 9 9-cup food processor.)
  • If you do not like coconut, you can use another oil in its place or omit it altogether for a simple cinnamon cashew butter. If you omit the oil, you will likely need to process the nut butter for additional time (about five minutes).

Description

Creamy raw cashew butter with a hint of cinnamon and coconut flavor – this recipe will have you eating this stuff by the spoonful this afternoon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups raw cashews
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons liquefied coconut oil
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-powered food processor and allow to run for approximately eight minutes, scraping sides of the food processor every two to three minutes. Process for additional time if creamier nut butter is desired.

Notes

  • A high-powered food processor is necessary. I’ve tried making nut butter in a small, low-powered food processor before and it lacked the smooth, creamy consistency of nut butter even after I processed the nuts for a long time. (For this recipe, I used my Cuisinart Prep 9 9-cup food processor.)
  • If you do not like coconut, you can use another oil in its place or omit it altogether for a simple cinnamon cashew butter. If you omit the oil, you will likely need to process the nut butter for additional time (about five minutes).

    Congrats to the winners! Can’t wait to add them in to all the fun!

    And I just did a coconut vanilla almond butter from Chelsey and it is SO GOOD! I can’t stop eating it either. It’s gotta be the coconut oil. #addictive

    This looks lovely, I definitely would love to try but I know my blender just wouldn’t cut it!!

    I have just got into the coconut oil myself so looking forward to trying it out in more recipes. At the moment, it’s just been used on my homemade low sugar granola which I am now munching on at all times of the day! Must be the deliciousness of the coconut oil 🙂

    never had cashew butter, in theory it sounds good but the light color is disconcerting-it looks a little like wall spackle. not sure I could bring myself to try it.

    I no longer trust myself with any type of nut butter in my apartment — it goes so quickly! I may have to make an exception though to try this recipe. Sounds delicious.

    Can I say I’m jealous of your liquid coconut oil?! In Portland Oregon my coconut oil is a liquid about 3 weeks out of the year total.

    I cannot wait to try this nut butter! It sounds dangerous and delicious…two of my favorite D words.
