​Many nut butters on the market are full of hidden sugar and hydrogenated oils. It turns out it is pretty simple to make your own! 
 
INGREDIENTS
• 4 cups raw cashews
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin coconut oil 
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
• 2 drops of Madagascar vanilla
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Preheat oven to 325 F.
• In a large bowl mix the raw cashews with coconut oil,
 and salt.
• Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cashews cool completely before blending.
• In a food processor or high powered blender add the toasted  
cashews and essential oil.
• Process for 5-10 minutes depending on your machine.
• Scrape down the side of the bowl every few minutes for a smooth

creamy consistency.

butter has completely cooled (may be warm from processing). 
• Store in the fridge or in the cupboard for up to 1 month.
