Ingredients

• 2 cups raw walnuts
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon neutral oil (optional, for smoother texture)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Spread the raw walnuts evenly on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Toast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to overtoast them, as they can burn easily.

Step 4

Remove the toasted walnuts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the cooled walnuts to a food processor. Blitz the walnuts for 3-5 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the mixture starts to turn creamy.

Step 6

Add the maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and, if desired, the neutral oil. Continue processing for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth. Add more oil in small amounts if needed to achieve your preferred consistency.

Step 7

Taste the walnut butter and adjust sweetness or salt if necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the maple walnut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Let it cool to room temperature before sealing.

Step 9

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir before each use if separation occurs.
