My youngest son Allan is unfortunately allergic to nuts but I often make several different seed butters.

Both sets of nuts were ground by the KitchenAid food processor, but the food processor was not able to make them into nut butter. I toasted the seeds in a pan right before blending; they were still pretty warm when I threw them in the food processor. Every pantry has its stash of miscellaneous nuts, and this recipe is the answer to anyone needing a pantry purge--or who just wants to get creative with nut butter. It might be that you need to add MORE nuts to the processor container from the start; with insufficient mass, the nuts can’t get past the crumbly/gritty stage. I bought the blendtec blender and the attachment piece specislly made to make nut butters and it doesn’t seem to blend that well.

I made this using 3 cups of almonds with my 20+ yr old 400 Watt Braun food processor and I have beautiful nut butter.

I guess the rich flavour and smooth and fatty creaminess balances many of the light and vegetable packed dishes in our kitchen pretty good.

A great source of protein, our Mixed Nut Butter works brilliantly across breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.
