You would think it would be such a pain in the bum to make nut butter. It just sounds irritating and time consuming but NO!
Get your nuts.
Put them in the food processor.
Leave it on until it's nut butter (3-5 mins).
Peanut butter turns out to be a vegan's dear friend as it's actually a legume. Go Peanuts! All the other nuts are good for us in smallish doses. Enjoy.
