I wouldn’t suggest using coconut oil because it solidifies when refrigerated. But, I’ve made this a few times since without the oil. You’ll just need to process it for a bit longer to get it smooth. Enjoy!

I was wondering if you could use coconut oil instead of canola oil.

What a lovely blog you have here! I am glad that I have found it. :) I love nut butter too and it is so easy to make at home. Yours looks great with the seeds too.

Oh my heaven, Nicole! Flavoured nut butters are my love, my soulmate, my heaven. This looks incredible. A spoon is all I’d need, I think…

Gillian, I make nut butters in my vitamix ALL the time. I use raw nuts and never have to add oil as the nuts have a ton of oil in them (esp when they are uncooked). When using the tamper with the proper container it shouldn’t reach the bottom at all. It has a lip on the lid to protect it from getting shredded. I put about 2-3 cups of nuts and then I put the Vitamix 1/2 way for a min and use the tamper to blend, then I crank it up all the while tamping like crazy to push the nuts down near the blade. If you hear the machine get higher in noise, it usually means nothing is being processed and that is when it overheats (hence the tampering like crazy). But believe me it takes alot to overheat those machines. I make almond, cashew, peanut, with all kinds of added flavors and the beauty of it is that it is fresh, and in it’s pure form with natural oils.
PS I love that you added flax Nicole that is a great addition.

This sounds amazing! I’m trying to cut back on the amount of nuts I consume, so this is perfect! : )

I will, with your wonderful guidance, thank you! They’d be great gifts (although sometimes pricey to make!)
