How to make your homemade Cashew butter!!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 tsp of Galilee Green olive oil
Some people prefer to toast the cashews before making the butter. the flavor is more intense, but I prefer the butter of raw chashews.
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the oil and the cashews. You can add some salt if you prefer. I prepare it with salt.
- Depending on the processor you have, grind the mixture until it reaches the consistency of butter. If you find that the mixture is too thick, you need to add some extra olive oil.
- Spread it over your banana bread… you can add some crushed and toasted cashews over the butter. It is extremely delicious, and the best: very healthy !!
Store any leftover bread in a bag. Or, cut the bread and store the slices in little bags. Store the bread in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can store it in the freezer for weeks. This bread makes for a great make-ahead breakfast option.

Hi, this sounds very good, but the 1 cup whole wheat flour doesn’t make sense if it is supposed to be gluten free. Typo hopefully.
