Thank you to guest blogger Jennifer Richter for her great How-To on making Macadamia Nut Butter!
Hi, I’m Jennifer Richter with Restoration Recipes, I wanted to share with you my Mac Nut Butter recipe that I made and can’t get enough of.
First I should confess something important to you. I have always disliked macadamia nuts, like a lot, BUT, I’ve always been a firm believer you can love any food if it’s prepared correctly. I recently discovered Royal Hawaiian Orchards Macadamia nuts that I had found Costco. I bought them for my hubby since he loves them and he would not shut up about how amazing they were, so I had to try them.
NO JOKE they taste like POPCORN & a CASHEW had a baby, an amazing combination. Perfectly roasted, salted, sweet, and creamy. My new LOVE!!
I searched all over my local stores for some macadamia nut butter since I was now in love, no one carried it, plus my husband made a great point, I am in love with premium macadamia nuts and I’d just be disappointed with another kind if they made some anyway. Thus the recipe was born.
I made this Mac Butter with 5 tablespoons of nutmeg vanilla honey that my cousins gifted me from HenrysHumdingers.com, along with 1/3 cup organic coconut oil, and 2 cups of the yummy one-of-a kind macs straight out of the bag. No soaking, drying, roasting. They are perfect just as they are and your mac butter will last longer making them this way. I puréed it in the Vitamix and it blended beautifully. I did attempt this in the food processor at first, which was a bust, the consistency was chunky, so I transferred it to the Vitamix for the perfect blend.
I’m OBSESSED with this it’s truly amazing. It brings celery to life in a way never imagined possible. MB&J sandwiches are richer, and eating it off of a spoon is fully acceptable. Check us out on Instagram.com/restorationrecipes for more Royal Hawaiian Mac Nut inspired recipes.

Ya’ll, Jennifer is not joking…this Mac nut butter is ABSOLUTELY divine!! It’s super creamy, sweet, salty and just down right freakin amazing. I’d have never thought I’d be so excited over nut butter😉 but I was wrong! You’ve gotta try it. My favorite is on green apples 🍏 (OK, that’s a lie. My favorite is straight off of the spoon) 💙
