Walnut Butter

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (280g) raw walnuts
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C.

2. 2

   Spread the walnuts onto a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 7 minutes or until toasted - check them often as they can quickly burn.TIP: You can also toast the walnuts, in batches, in a dry frying pan over a medium heat, stirring often.

3. 3

   Pour the toasted walnuts into a food processor or blender (no need to cool first) and whiz until smooth. You’ll need to scrape the sides down often. It will take about 7 minutes to go from nuts, to crumbles, to thick lovely walnut butter.

4. 4

   Once it’s turned to walnut butter, add the maple syrup, cinnamon and salt and process just to combine.

5. 5

   Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
