Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place cashews and peanuts in a food processor or high-powered blender. Process for 3-4 minutes, scraping down sides periodically, until nuts begin to release their natural oils and form a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Stop the processor and add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and salt. Continue processing for an additional 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture becomes uniformly smooth and creamy.
- Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and no dry spots remain.
- If the butter seems too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of neutral oil like avocado or coconut oil to help achieve a more spreadable texture.
- Transfer the pumpkin spice cashew peanut butter to a clean, airtight glass jar. Use a spatula to smooth the top and remove any air bubbles.
- Store the nut butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Serve on toast, use as a dip for apple slices, or enjoy directly by the spoonful.
Tips
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor for the smoothest possible texture. The key is patience during processing.
- Toast your nuts lightly before blending for an enhanced, deeper flavor profile.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add neutral oils like avocado or coconut oil gradually to achieve your desired consistency.
- For extra richness, consider adding a tiny splash of vanilla extract.
- Always store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent separation.
- Let the butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften and enhance spreadability.
- Experiment with different nut combinations or spice ratios to personalize your spread.
