Oh am I excited to share this recipe with you! I’ve tried this delightful homemade nut butter recipe out a couple of times and each time I basically ate the whole jar in a day. What can I say? The nutty roasted, salted cashews swirled together with cinnamon and vanilla turn me into a nut butter monster.
I told myself I had to sample for the blog…but I will admit that I just wanted an excuse to eat it by the spoonful.
You can smother this delicious homemade nut butter on toast, a banana, or spoon it into some oatmeal (or your mouth..). You might want to make a double batch if there is more than one person in your household who eats nut butter. Dave is still a little wary of anything other than Jif. Which is just fine by me.
If you know me, you know that I eat pretty much the same breakfast every day. Some sort of nut butter on some sort of toasted bread item. I change up the bread almost every time I get a new loaf, even going on an English muffin stint for awhile. Then you can always add different toppings to keep things interesting such as granola or mini chocolate chips (or both!).
I also enjoy changing up the nut butter. Obviously. I was reminded to revisit my cashew butter when I saw Lee’s Chocolate Vanilla Cashew Butter. Yum.
I was also comforted by the fact that she also gets her nuts pre-roasted and salted. Much less work! 
It is absolutely essential that the nuts be roasted so that their natural oils come out and blend up smoothly. Just in case you decide to be more ambitious than me. I mean I am able to roast my own nuts, but I will be honest—I tend to burn them because I tell myself I will do one thing really fast and come back. Then the smell of toasted nuts..and it’s usually too late.
I also suggest you invest in quality vanilla. Not vanilla imitation, but real vanilla extract. Dave did well when he brought home the little glass tube of vanilla from Target. I’ve even thought of making my own..apparently you can make it with the vanilla bean and some alcohol? Has anyone ever done this?
Ooooh this could be dangerous! I am already struggling to keep my spoon out of the almond butter jar, but make it cashew AND snicker doodle….I could be in trouble! Sounds yummy! You look greta, nice find at Target 🙂
So very dangerous! And thanks, girl! 🙂
Cashews are candy to me! I eat them everyday. Seriously the best nut 😉
They really are! They kind of melt in your mouth!
I’m not a college football fan, so when I see huskers stuff, I think of the people I know who are fans (you and my friend kate). This cashew butter sounds delicious!
Yeah we pretty much only have college football so…whatyagonnado. 🙂 Plus watching it makes me feel like I’m back at home. 🙂
This could be dangerous! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
So dangerous! Let me know how it goes! 🙂
LOL – I wish Kyle loved nachos as much as I did 😉 AND this cashew butter looks to die for! Obvs my favorite is peanut butter, I’m obsessed 😉
Whaaat who doesn’t love nachos??
Yum! I just finished eating a sweet potato with almond butter for dinner and I’m day dreaming about eating your cashew butter for dessert – ha! Sounds amazing!
Ohh this would be perfect on a sweet potato with the cinnamon!!
As if plain cashew butter isn’t delicious enough, you had to go and make it ridiculously delicious! Can’t wait to try this 🙂
haha I’m sorry? Not really though because the deliciosity I added is dreamy and not even bad for you! 🙂
Ok first off…. give me that rubber bowl scraper!! Oh it looks delicious covered in nut buttery goodness. I’m an addict to peanut but have new found love for sunflower butter. I don’t discriminate regardless. 🙂
I wish my boyfriend drank coffee… he just doesn’t GET IT!
You cannot have my cute rubber bowl scraper! Buttt you can buy your own at Target. 😉 It came in a pack of two and the other one is yellow and equally adorable. Perfect for getting every last morsel of cashew butter from a jar! 😉
I thought the BF was into coffee for like a week…then he stopped lol!
This looks so great… snickerdoodles are my fave cookie, after chocolate chip of course.
Omg chocolate chip nut butter… *runs to the kitchen and starts making a mess of chocolate and nuts*
Oh my gosh you just won me over!!! This sounds incredible!
Happy to win you over! 🙂 You have to try it and let me know what you think!
Omg yum. Is eat this in a day for sure. I always burn my nuts too. I’m terrible at walking away as soon as they are done. Can’t wait to try these!
Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one burning my nuts! (<-I may be immature but that's funny) You have to let me know how it turns out! 🙂
omg that looks so good!
SO good! Come visit and we will make nut butter all day!
That does look like an amazing special treat kind of recipe-dangerous to have around. Thanks for linking up with us today and I hope you will visit the hostess sites and recipes too. Which plug in do you use for the nutritional facts for your recipes? I like the way it looks 🙂
Here’s the plugin I use: http://www.semihealthyblog.com/2014/04/blogging-101-recipe-plugin-recipe-organization.html
I love how customizable it is and the nutritional info is awesome when it works…originally my pumpkin shake said 900 calories for one glass lol and then I changed some words and it went back down to 230 calories.
I still can’t believe I’ve never tried cashew butter! I’ve gotta get on it. Thanks for sharing this recipe:)
Yes please get on that! And let me know how it goes! 🙂

You should! Do it!! 🙂

This is such a great idea!! I love adding spices/flavours to nut butters… they taste so gourmet!
Thanks lady! Yes it definitely makes the nutbutter feel very fancy! 🙂
