Materials
- - mixer/blender with container, for grinding the nut mix
- - containers
- - tray or pan for baking the nut mix~3 minutes
Preparation
We prepare the ingredients and measure the quantities.
We can use any type of nuts we have: classic nuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews, ...).
We can also use any type of oil we want with the mention that an oil with a neutral taste will not affect the taste of the nuts, and coconut oil is a very good binder.
Optionally, in addition to that pinch of salt, you can also add a little honey.
We put the nut mix in a tray and bake them in the oven at 180º C for ~3-5 minutes! Nuts can also be baked in a pan, on medium heat. It is good to mix with a wooden spoon and we have to be careful because they can burn. Basically, by drying/baking, the fats in the nuts will be released more easily and we will ensure a creamy paste.
After they have been baked, leave the nut mixture to cool slightly (2-3 minutes), after which it will be ground with the help of a robot - mixer, until it forms an oily flour.
Mixing/grinding times differ according to several criteria, between 30 seconds and 1-2 minutes, but it is best to orient yourself visually.
When an oily flour is reached, add the other ingredients to the mixer container: grape seed oil, coconut oil and optionally salt.
Mix until a creamy paste is formed (nut mix butter) (~30 seconds - 1 minute). If the paste sticks to the walls of the mixer bowl, stop the mixer, use a spatula (or wooden spoon), stir a few times to loosen the walls, and then continue mixing.
At the end, transfer the butter from the nut mix into a container and keep it mandatory in the refrigerator, covered with a lid or food foil (as tight as possible).
This mixed nut butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, but we recommend making small quantities and consuming them within a few days.
Observations
Oils
→ The amount of oils used can vary depending on how thin or thick you want the butter to be.
→ Also, any type of oil can be used, but an oil with a neutral taste is recommended so as not to alter the basic taste of the main ingredient. For example, grape seed oil has a neutral taste, but it is also very valuable from a nutritional point of view. Coconut oil is a very good binder, especially when the product is refrigerated, helping to solidify and creaminess.
It's also a great source of protein and magnesium:
- proteins contribute to the development and maintenance of muscle mass;
- magnesium contributes to maintaining the health of the bone system;
- magnesium also contributes to the reduction of fatigue and overwork.
