What Type of Appliance is Best for Mixed Nut Butter?

In order to make homemade nut butter at home, you’ll need to source the proper tools for the job. The main equipment needed for this recipe is a high-powered blender or food processor, which pulverizes the nuts first into a powder, then a peanut butter-like consistency. The sharper the blade, the easier the nuts will blend.

If your blender has a harder time blending through difficult ingredients like nuts, you may need to adjust your blending time accordingly. The time to make this nut butter can range from 5 minutes to 25 minutes, depending on your machine.

Finding the Perfect Nutty Combination

When making a homemade nut butter recipe, you have the freedom to choose which combination of nuts you would like. If you enjoy the flavor of pecans and the texture of peanuts, use them in your blend. If you like sweeter nut butters, use more honey-roasted peanuts.

The beauty of cooking at home is the creative freedom that you have! Play around with different nuts until you find your perfect blend. Use the recipe below as a starting point!

Ingredients in Mixed Nut Butter

In all honesty, you can make Mixed Nut Butter with any assortment of nuts you have in your pantry! For ease and convenience, try out this salty and sweet combination below:

How to Make Mixed Nut Butter

Place the nuts in a high-powered blender or food processor.

Blend on high for 4-5 minutes, stopping the machine to cool down and to also scrape the sides down with a spatula a few times.

Continue blending in 4-5 minute increments until you have a nut butter consistency. The amount of time will depend on your machine, but it may take up to 25 minutes.

Once blended and smooth, store in an airtight jar for up to 1 month.

Notes:

Use for nut butter and jelly sandwiches, in cookie recipes, parfaits, or swap in any of your favorite peanut butter recipes.

A blender such as a Vitamix will work best for making homemade nut butter recipes. However, any high-powered blender will do. Adjust your blending time as necessary for your machine.

Storage:

Store at room temperature in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks and in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
