Pistachio Butter Recipe
Making your own nut butter is fun. This Pistachio Butter Recipe is very easy. It is creamy, green, and healthy. You only need a few things.
Equipment
- A high-speed blender or food processor.
- A baking sheet.
- A rubber spatula.
- A clean glass jar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled pistachios unsalted.
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup.
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional.
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil if needed.
Instructions
- Place pistachios on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Let the nuts cool for 5 minutes. Warm nuts blend much easier.
- Put nuts into your food processor. Pulse them until they look like crumbs.
- Run the machine for several minutes. The nuts will turn into a paste.
- Add the salt, honey, and vanilla now. Process again until very smooth.
- Add oil if it is too thick. Blend for one more minute.
Notes
- Use high-quality nuts for the best flavor.
- Always toast the nuts before blending.
- Toasting releases the natural oils.
- Be patient with your food processor.
- It may take 10 minutes to get creamy.
- Scrape the sides down often.
- Add a little oil for extra shine.
- Store it in the fridge to stay fresh.
