Ingredient Notes
- Raw Macadamia Nuts: The main ingredient in this recipe. Make sure what you’re buying are unsalted, raw nuts for fantastic results.
- Sea Salt: Enhances the flavor of the macadamia nuts, so you’ll end up with a yummy nut butter. This is a great recipe to use high-quality salt in! Use the best one you have. I love to use Celtic sea salt.
- Vanilla Extract (Optional): This ingredient is optional, but this macadamia butter really tastes delicious with a subtle hint of vanilla. Macadamia nuts already have an almost vanilla-like flavor note and this just further enhances it.
How to Make Macadamia Nut Butter
- Combine the macadamia nuts, pinch of sea salt, and vanilla extract in a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Start by pulsing or blending at a low speed, building up to a high speed over the course of a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula as needed.
- Keep blending until the nut butter is silky smooth and has a creamy texture, approximately 5 minutes total.
- Enjoy it right away or store it in a jar with a tight lid for use later.
