1 cup Brazil nuts (raw, unsalted)

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

Spread Brazil nuts on a pan and bake for 5 minutes.

In food processor, blend roasted brazil nuts in intervals so machine does not overheat and seeds don't get too hot (check every 1 minute or so depending on your blender).

This process will take anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on the power of your machine.

You will first notice the nuts are chopping up. They will then become more crumbly. They will then turn into a clumpy mixture (wetter). They will then become smooth and creamy. The longer your blend, the smoother the consistency will be.

Transfer to air-tight container or glass jar. Store Brazilian nut butter in refrigerator.
