WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BANANA BREAD NUT BUTTER

You need the following ingredients to make this nut butter (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Peanuts – Rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamin E, copper, or magnesium. Use dry roasted unsalted peanuts.
• Almonds – Great source of healthy fats, fiber, calcium, magnesium, or vitamin E. Use raw almonds with the skin.
• Pecans – are a good source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and healthy fats. You can use any other nut combination or just one type of nuts if you like (although this combination is so delicious!). Just keep the same amount.
• Freeze-dried (lyophilized) bananas – Add banana flavor and sweeten the butter. Blend them in a food processor into a fine powder before adding to the nut butter.
• Sea salt – balances the sweetness.
• Maple syrup – Optional ingredient. Just keep in mind that once you add in maple syrup, the butter thickens up.
• Oil – If you sweetened the butter with maple syrup, use oil to thin it out. You can use refined coconut oil, peanut oil, or any oil neutral in flavor, such as sunflower oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil.

Equipment you need:

• Baking tray
• High-speed blender or food processor – To make your homemade nut butter smooth and creamy, you will need good quality high-speed blender or food processor. Use blender tamper accelerator to push down the nuts as mixing to make it easier to blend.
• Glass jar with lid – for storing

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BANANA BREAD NUT BUTTER

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Step: Roast almonds and pecans

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Add raw almonds and pecans to a baking tray and bake for 5-7 minutes. Mix them through a few times. Be careful not to burn them (ovens can vary).

After roasting, let them cool down slightly.

2. Step: Make banana powder

Place the freeze-dried bananas in a high-speed blender and pulse into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl. Set aside.

3. Step: Make banana nut butter

To the high-speed blender (or food processor), add peanuts, roasted almonds, and pecans and blend on low speed until the nuts are all evenly mixed. Scrape down the sides to make sure everything blends. Then blend on high speed until it forms into a creamy butter. If you’re using a high-speed blender, use a blender tamper accelerator to push down the nuts as mixing to make it easier. The blending might take from 4-10 minutes, depending on your blender/food processor.

Add banana powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt and blend until combined.

To sweeten the butter, add maple syrup, and then any neutral oil of your choice to thin it out (optional step).

Transfer the butter to a jar and let it cool completely without any cover.
