I’ve made cashew nut and almon butters, but not macadamia nut butter. Is it necessary to add additional oil?

That should’ve been “almond”

Hi Sheree, it’s not absolutely necessary but it does make it a little more wet and creamy than just using plain macadamia nuts. Really good with chilli also if you like that.

to add, the oil also gives it a stronger flavour so you can try starting with just a little (half the quantity in the recipe).
