Pistachio Butter
You only need 3 ingredients to make this homemade Pistachio Butter. This recipe is crazy simple to make and bursting with nutty flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 cups pistachio raw, shelled
- 1–3 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F, spread pistachios out on a baking sheet, and roast for 8–10 minutes.
- Allow nuts to cool, then place into a food processor along with oil and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Start with 1 tablespoon of oil and add more as needed, processing until you get the desired consistency. I like mine very smooth!
- Once smooth, use a spatula to transfer butter to a storage or serving container.
Notes
- The recipe calls for 2 cups of pistachios—this measurement comes AFTER the pistachios have been shelled. You can also use pre-shelled nuts.
- You can skip the roasting and make this pistachio butter with raw nuts, but the roasting gives the nut butter a nice flavor.
- This recipe works best when using a food processor. You may need to stop and scrape the sides many times if you are using a blender.
- This pistachio butter is delicious as a spread on toast, as a replacement for peanut butter, or mixed into baked goods.
- Store this butter in the fridge for up to a month, or freeze for up to 3 months.
