Oh how I love homemade nut butters! Not only do they taste way better than store bought, but they’re cheaper too!
This homemade whole30 + keto cashew butter is a new favorite. Cashews have such a creamy, fatty flavor. As a nut butter it is irresistible.
How to Make Homemade Whole30 + Keto Cashew Butter
You’re not going to believe how easy this is to make homemade!
You start by roasting the cashews. This will intensify their flavor, and give them a golden color. After roasting, put the warm cashews right in the food processor with some salt. The heat helps the nuts break down even faster.
Scrape it down once or twice while blending, then 20 minutes later, and you have homemade cashew butter!
Are Cashews Keto?
Cashews are keto in small amounts. They do have a higher carb count than almonds and pecans. The serving size for this butter is 2 tablespoons, perfect amount for a snack. That is only 5 carbs.
If you want an even lower carb nut butter, try my homemade almond butter or pecan butter!

What are some of the things you eat this with?
Thanks so much for your question on my cashew butter Sarah. I like it on celery, my kids love it on crackers or as a sandwich. My hubby loves it straight off the spoon!
I made this last night and it turned out fantastic! My food processor is on it’s last leg so I used my vitamin…worked great! THANK YOU for always coming up with great recipes and giving us such great demonstrations. It really helps! Also, quick question, when giving as gifts do you refrigerate before or is it okay to sit out for a few days until you give as a gift? Thanks again for all you do!

I want to use my vitamix too! How long did you let it run? On high?
Hi Blaire! I am so happy you like my cashew butter! I would probably store in the refrigerator just to be safe! Thank you for your kind words! I just love sharing my recipes!
OMG! OMG! OMG! No one who has ever known me would believe that I make my own mayonnaise, let alone my own CASHEW BUTTER, but thanks to you, I DO! I just made the most delicious cashew butter! It was hard not to do more than lick the spoon; it was so delicious I could have easily eaten the entire thing. Luckily there was no need because I have cauliflower fried rice with shrimp (instead of chicken this week) and shaved Brussels sprouts (OMG again!) and salmon cakes and, and, and! Thank you Natalie for making this the most exciting New Year’s diet start of my life! This is going to be my year! THANK YOU!

You seriously just made my day Kate! What a super nice comment to receive! I am so, so happy you now make your own mayo and cashew butter. Isn’t it fantastic? It really is so simple but feels so very fancy and complicated. I could also eat the whole batch of any nut butter I make, I just adore it. Sounds like you are having the best dinner ever! I am thrilled that you are enjoying my recipes! Thank you very much for letting me know. I really love sharing them!
So easy and so yummy, I had no idea. With fruit (banana or apple) on a rice cake or on a spoon. Also delish drizzled on homemade oatmeal. No more store bought nut butters in our house!

I am so glad you liked my pecan butter Heather! I was also amazed how easy it is to make and how tasty it is. I am so glad you agree. I no longer buy any store bought nut butter. I make them all myself and feel so much better about what I am serving my family.
DELICIOUS!!
I am so happy you liked my cashew butter Stephanie. I think it is delicious too!
