Notes
Nuts can be fickle sometimes. If your nut butter doesn't come together the way you want it the first time, don't panic. Just wait a little while for the machine and the nut butter to cool down and then repeat steps 7 and 8 again. You can also add a little bit more coconut oil or even a touch of honey to help it emulsify.
*vegetable oil can be used instead of coconut oil if preferred.
