Summary

It’s no secret that healthy fats are an important part of a balanced plant-based diet. Exposure to a wide variety of nuts and seeds supports your health with essential nutrients like magnesium, copper, zinc, manganese, and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which play an important role in the prevention of chronic disease. Plus, fun fact about nut butters — you can create and customize an endless number of blends! Use this nutritious and delicious Super Seed Nut Butter Blend as a fruit dip, sandwich spread, or as a part of your smoothie bowl.

Super Seed Nut Butter

Ingredients

 ½ cup raw pecans
 ½ cup raw walnuts
Other Seeds
 2 tbsp hemp seeds
 1 tbsp flaxseeds
 1 tbsp chia seeds
 ⅛ tsp salt(optional)

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2

Spread the pecans and walnuts out evenly on the baking sheet. (They can all go on the baking sheet together since they’ll all go into the food processor together.) 

3

Bake for 8 minutes, tossing halfway through. 

4

Allow to cool slightly but transfer them to the food processor while still warm. 

5

Blend until smooth. 

6

Add the hemp, flax, and chia seeds and pulse 5–10 times until they’re mixed with the nut butter but not blended (for some crunchy texture!). 

Chef’s Notes

Substitutions
Substitute hazelnuts, peanuts, or Brazil nuts for any of the nuts above.
Add more of any of the nuts above in place of another nut.
If you like even more texture or a variety of seeds, substitute pumpkin or sunflower seeds in place of hemp, flax, or chia seeds.

Prep Ahead
Roast the nuts ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks before making the nut butter blend.

Storage
Store your super seed nut butter in the refrigerator for up to 60 days or freeze for three months.
