Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the almonds and cashews evenly on a baking sheet.
Toast the nuts in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Be careful not to over-toast to prevent a burnt flavor.
Allow the toasted nuts to cool for 5 minutes. This helps release their natural oils while processing.
Transfer the cooled nuts to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process for 2-3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Continue processing the nuts until they form a smooth, creamy butter texture. This may take an additional 5-8 minutes depending on your processor's power.
Once the nut butter is smooth, add the maple syrup, coconut oil, sea salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Process for another 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated.
Taste the Maplenut Butter and adjust seasoning or sweetness by adding a small amount of additional maple syrup or salt if desired.
Transfer the finished Maplenut Butter to an airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks and stir before each use if separation occurs.
