    Why you will love this recipe:

    • It's so easy to make with only 2 ingredients! This spread is ready in just a few minutes.
    • The flavour! It's so rich and creamy and is a little sweet and a little nutty tasting with a hint of coconut flavour.
    • Making your own nut butter is cheaper than buying pre-made nut butters so it's a great way to save money on groceries. 
    • This healthy nut butter is vegan, dairy free, gluten free, paleo, sugar free and Whole30 compliant.
    • You can use this homemade coconut cashew butter in place of peanut butter and other nut butters or seed butters. 
    • It's peanut free so it's safe for kids to take to school.

    If you love homemade nut butter you will also love macadamia butter.

    Ingredients and substitutions:

    Coconut butter and raw cashews in bowls with a tea towel beside them.
    • Coconut butter - coconut butter is also known as coconut manna or coconut cream concentrate. You can usually find it in the gluten free or organic section of grocery stores. It is also sometimes located in the Asian isle.
    • Raw cashews - cashews blend so perfectly with the coconut to give this nut butter the most amazing flavour. I recommend using raw cashews for this recipe, not roasted cashews.

    Recipe variations and add ins:

    • You can use coconut butter, coconut manna or coconut cream concentrate for this recipe.
    • If you want it to be sweeter: add two tablespoons of maple syrup or honey.
    • To turn it into vanilla cashew coconut butter: add one tablespoon of vanilla extract.
    • To give this coconut cashew butter a different flavour add a bit of ground cinnamon.

    How to make cashew coconut butter:

    A food processor with raw cashews and coconut butter in it.

    Step 1

    Place the ingredients into your food processor and blend well until smooth. This will only take a few minutes.

    Top tips:

    • Oil separation is natural when storing nut butter. Simply give it a stir before serving, or store the jar upside down. 
    • If you don't have a food processor you could use a high powered blender to make this nut butter. 

    How to serve:

    You can use this delicious spread in so many ways. It can be used the same way you would use almond butter or peanut butter. Here are some of my favorite ways to use it:

    • It can be used to spread on air fried toast, pancakes, waffles, crepes or gluten-free banana and pecan muffins to make the best breakfast. 
    • You can eat it right from the spoon.
    • Add it to an oat milk smoothie or other smoothie recipes.
    • To put in oatmeal or high protein overnight oats.

    Cashew coconut butter FAQs:

    What if I don't have a food processor?

    You can use a high powdered blender instead.

    Which is better, almond butter or cashew butter?

    Which type of nut butter is best will really depend on your taste preference. Cashew butter is naturally a little sweeter than almond butter, while almond butter is more nuttier in flavour.

    How do I store cashew and coconut butter?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container or jar in a cool dry place or at room temperature for up to 30 days. 

    Other sauces and dips you will love:

    • A bowl of walnut dressing with three walnuts on top for garnish.

    • A jar of honey mustard sauce with a spoon in it.
