Ultimate Mixed Nut Butter

Ultimate Mixed Nut Butter

Rich, creamy, and intentionally crafted, this isn't your average nut butter. I created this recipe because I wanted a simple way to add a variety of nutrient-dense foods to my diet in one delicious spread.

Instead of relying on a single nut, I combined peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, and both black and white sesame seeds to create a butter that's rich in healthy fats, plant-based protein, fiber, and a wide range of vitamins and minerals.

The recipe below has been reduced from my original batch, making it much more practical for home kitchens and easier on most food processors and high-powered blenders.

Recipe Notes

This recipe is a half batch of the original recipe I prepared.

My original batch yielded approximately two large jars, but I intentionally made a larger quantity because I planned to use it in smoothies and other recipes before storing the remainder.

This smaller version is much more practical for the average home kitchen and is less demanding on most food processors and blenders.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (454 g) peanuts (unshelled)

• 1 lb (454 g) almonds

• 1 cup Brazil nuts

• ½ lb (227 g) pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• ½ cup black sesame seeds

• ½ cup white sesame seeds

• ¼ cup raw honey

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Spread the peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, and pumpkin seeds onto a large baking tray.

3. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing everything halfway through after 15 minutes for even roasting.

4. Spread the black and white sesame seeds onto a separate baking tray.

5. Roast the sesame seeds for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

6. Allow all of the nuts and seeds to cool completely.

7. Transfer the roasted nuts and seeds to a high-powered blender or food processor.

8. Blend until the mixture begins releasing its natural oils.

9. Add the honey, coconut oil, and salt.

10. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and spreadable, scraping down the sides as needed.

11. Transfer to clean jars and store.

Storage

Store in a clean, airtight glass jar.

Because this recipe contains only natural ingredients, some oil separation is normal. Simply stir before using if needed.

For the freshest flavor, keep refrigerated, or store according to your preferred storage method and climate.

Tips

• Roast the nuts and sesame seeds separately since sesame seeds brown much faster.

• Allow everything to cool completely before blending to protect your blender and achieve the best consistency.

• If using a standard food processor, be patient. Homemade nut butter can take several minutes to become smooth.

• If needed, add a little extra coconut oil (1 teaspoon at a time) to reach your preferred consistency.

Why I Chose These Ingredients

Every ingredient in this recipe was selected intentionally:

Peanuts

Peanuts provide plant-based protein, healthy fats, and niacin while creating the classic nut butter flavor and creamy consistency.

Almonds

Almonds are naturally rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are one of the richest natural food sources of selenium, an essential mineral involved in normal thyroid function and antioxidant defense.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds provide magnesium, zinc, iron, healthy fats, and additional plant protein.

Black & White Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds contribute calcium, copper, magnesium, healthy fats, and naturally occurring antioxidants while adding depth of flavor.

Raw Honey

Raw honey provides just enough natural sweetness to balance the nuttiness without overpowering it.

Coconut Oil

A small amount of coconut oil improves texture, making the finished nut butter smoother and easier to spread.
