----------------------------------------------------

This Two-Ingredient Walnut Almond Butter is nutty, creamy, and perfect on toast or in recipes. I found that using just almonds by themselves created too thick of a nut butter and wasn't oily enough, but I didn't want to add any extra oils. So since walnuts are naturally softer and a bit more oily, the combination creates a smooth creamy nut butter.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of unroasted, unsalted almonds

• 1 cup of walnut pieces

Directions:

• Place the almonds on a cutting board, and cut them in half. Alternatively, place them in a ziplock bag and smash them. If you have a good food processor you can skip this step.

• Place the almond pieces in a food processor (I used my Mini NutriBullet).

• Pulse until the almonds turn powdery.

• Add the walnuts.

• Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until it forms into a smooth butter.

• Transfer the butter from the food processor to a mason jar.

• Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Tips and Tricks:
