80--- Coconut Vanilla Cashew Butter

Making your own nut butters is SO easy, and it is a great way to avoid some of the "extra" ingredients that are added to processed versions.  You can experiement with different nuts and flavors to find a truly special combination.

This one is delicious on Wasa crisps! 

Coconut Vanilla Cashew Butter

Serves 10-12

1 1/2 cups raw cashews

1/2- 1 Tbsp water

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes

2 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 tsp honey

Add cashews to a food processor and mix until well ground.  Add water and continue to mix for 2-3 minutes, or until a puree is formed (may still be a bit dry).  Add in remaining ingredients and continue to mix until texture is smooth.  Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (to increase storage time).
