For that reason, I consider it a pantry staple. It’s ultra creamy, with a slight hint of vanilla that no other nut or seed butter can match, making it an absolutely delicious base for granola or cookies.
While peanut is my go-to for toasts, snacks, and sauces, cashew butter DOMINATES in the baking department. While cashew butter may not be nearly as popular as peanut butter or almond butter, and admittedly, it’s not something I reach for daily, it holds a special place in my heart. Most people keep their pantries stocked with peanut butter at all times (as they should), and there’s been a surge in almond butter’s popularity, but not enough people are aware of the amazing taste and versatility of cashew butter! Not only do they make delicious spreads for toasts, they’re also incredibly versatile in everything from sauces and dressings to oil-free granolas, smoothies, and cookies. Whether it’s crunchy peanut butter, creamy almond butter, and even a Nutella-inspired chocolate hazelnut butter, it’s safe to say that nut butters are big staples in my pantry.
