Product Information

Sweet toffee makes a great alternative to the usual chocolate Brazils in this easy recipe. Best eaten a day or two after making when the toffee has softened a little.

The thing that I love about Brazil nuts is their texture. When you bite into a Brazil nut, it’s got a different texture to most other nuts/seeds. It’s almost like I’m more aware of the Brazil nut oil content and it has an almost buttery consistency – in the best way possible. Which brings me to this delicious homemade Brazil nut butter recipe, as well as the health benefits of Brazil nuts. I’ve even thrown in a couple of cheeky sections for flavoured brazil nut butter options, and Brazil nut butter uses.

Firstly, did you know that Brazil nuts are technically a seed and not a nut?! – I’ll thank FRIENDS and ‘Doctor Boring’ for giving me that bit of information ( side note – hazelnuts are also a seed !) As with all nut & seed butters, this homemade brazil nut butter works well as a simple spread, within smoothies, stirred into or drizzled over oats, a yoghurt parfait, pancakes and ice-cream. You can also use it to make fun alternatives to these homemade Vegan peanut butter cups.

It can also be frozen, for longer. Step 3 Turn up the heat and bubble, swirling the pan occasionally rather than stirring, until the temperature of the mixture reaches 149°C on a sugar thermometer.

Step 1 Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Scatter the nuts on to a small baking tray and toast in the oven for 10min, or until lightly golden. Set aside. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment.

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Lightly oil a 39x35cm/15¼x13¾in baking tray and line with baking parchment. Put the sugar thermometer in the pan and bring the mixture up to the boil, without stirring. Carefully let it bubble until the thermometer reaches 130C/266F. (CAUTION: boiling sugar is extremely hot. Handle very carefully. Use a deep pan to avoid bubbling over.)As with all my homemade nut butter recipes, I have to suggest adding some cocoa powder for a delicious chocolatey version because everything is better with chocolate!

All of the above means that Brazil nuts overall can benefit your health in various ways, including thyroid health and heart, brain and immune system function.

Brazil nuts are rich in antioxidants, which are substances that help keep your cells healthy. They do this by combating damage caused by reactive molecules called free radicals.

Whenever I make large batches of any nut butter, I tend to avoid adding any additional ingredients, and they will affect the shelf-life. If I want to flavour any, I will make sure only to flavour a small portion of it, so none goes to waste. If you want some flavoured brazil nut butter inspiration: Now, for the homemade Brazil nut recipe, flavoured Brazil nut combinations and its uses… How to make homemade Brazil Nut butter Brazil nuts have always been a Christmas nut for me because that’s the time of year I eat them the most. I’m not sure why I don’t utilise them more to be honest since they are delicious. This recipe is, of course, oil-free too! I know that many nut butter recipes include some oil to yield super-smooth results. However, I omit this and spend a little extra time blending them, for the healthiest version. Health Benefits of Brazil NutsI suggest using a high-speed blender if possible. Otherwise, the process can take quite a bit longer. However, if you do have a relatively mid-level powered food processor/blender, don’t fret! Simply give the nuts longer time to blend, giving the machine a break every couple of minutes. Brazil Nuts are a great source of antioxidants, combating damage caused by free radicals with anti-inflammatory properties. I still have quite a bit of experimentation to do regarding using this delicious nut butter more. However, here are a few suggestions for you! Since brazil nuts remind me of Autumn/Winter, I would suggest experimenting with seasonal flavours such as with pumpkin spice mix, Cinnamon, or even Christmas pudding style one.
