Making your own nut butter is very simple and quick in the Thermomix, and best of all, it doesn't contain any hydrogenated fat like popular peanut butter brands do.
Here's my basic recipe - you can change which nuts you use, and they can be either roasted or raw (or a mixture), depending on what you prefer. You can also add roasted or raw seeds, like pepitas, sesame and sunflower seeds. I usually use at least a handful of raw macadamias in my nut butter, as they are so oily that you often don't need to add any extra oil. I also add a little salt and Rapadura, which is optional. (I don't usually measure, but I've written down approximate measurements for those who want them.)
1. Place all the ingredients in the bowl and grind on speed 9 for 1 to 1.5 minutes, until it reaches the desired consistency. (You may need to use the spatula to push the mixture onto the blades.)
- 250g raw almonds
- 150g roasted cashews (unsalted)
- 50g raw macadamias
- 2 tsp Rapadura
- 1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
If mixture is still too stiff, add some macadamia oil - about 15g should do.

This is the yummiest nut butter ever. Does not last long enough in our house.
I have been wanting to make this for AGES but only just go around to it - yum!! Will be a regular in our house :) Thanks again Jo
You're welcome - glad you liked it! :)
Hey Jo, I made this nut butter - it's divine! I didn't have macadamias, so used some hazelnuts and added 20g of organic (untoasted)sesame oil. Turned out a treat! Can't believe how simple it is in the thermomix. Thanks :-)
That's great Lesh! It's fun to try all different combinations - sometimes I add sesame seeds/sunflower seeds/pepitas too! :)
I am onto my third batch, sensational and easy, thanks Jo.

Could this be made using only sunflower seeds? We have a strict "no nuts" policy at school and I'm looking for a substitute for peanut butter to use in a snack recipe. What do you think?
I haven't tried just sunflower seeds, but I don't see why not - just roast them first for best flavour I would think, and adjust oil, salt and rapadura to taste. :)
Sounds lovely. Does nut butter need to be placed in frig?
I usually keep mine in the fridge, but it would probably be okay out of the fridge if the weather's not too hot. :)
Can you please advise how long this lasts for many thanks

Hi Jo, I can't have cashews :-( what's the best replacement nut for that element in your opinion? How about Brazil nuts?? Thanks Lauren :-)
Hi Jo, is it possible to use nuts that have been soaked or best to use dry nuts? Thanks! Shaughn. :)
