How to Soak Cashews 3 different ways!

I have three ways that I have soaked cashews. They all have the same results. When I have the time, or I remember, I use the overnight method. But when you forget...it is nice to have other options!

I found that raw or steam pasteurized cashews are the best for soaking. However any type of cashews will work. I have used roasted before, they just take a little longer to soak. So keep that in mind depending on what is available to you.    

Soaking Cashews
 Ingredients: 
cashews
Water to cover

Option 1) OVER NIGHT
Place cashews in a glass jar or container and cover with water. Let soak in water for about 10-12 hours. They are fully soaked when they fall apart when you lightly squeeze them.  

Option 2) 3 HOURS
Place cashews in a glass jar or container and cover with hot water. Let soak in water for about 3 hours, making sure to replace with new hot water every 30-45 minutes. They are fully soaked when they fall apart when you lightly squeeze them.

Option 3) 15 MINUTES
Place cashews in a pot with plenty of water to cover 2 inches above cashews. Cover and boil on medium-high to high heat. Boil for 15 minutes, make sure that there is ALWAYS plenty of water in the pot. They are fully soaked when they fall apart when you lightly squeeze them.

Grain & Dairy free Peanut Butter Bars

These are dairy, gluten, grain, and refined sugar free! Enjoy!  These are the real deal! I love chocolate and peanut butter, so these are  a must have for me! They are so similar to peanut butter cups you buy at the store! These are my go-to treats, they are so fast and easy to make. I will just whip a batch up whenever I want a treat! They are a great on the go dessert, just press the layers in a plastic container and stick the lid on, let set in the freezer, and bring where you need to go!    I like these best at room temperature, they are creamier and richer. But don't leave them out for very long, the coconut oil in the chocolate layer will melt :) I made these the other day with crunchy peanut butter, they were so good!  Peanut Butter Bars Makes 16 squares       Peanut Butter Layer  Heaping 3/4 C.
