Are Pistachios Good for you?

Absolutely, YES! Pistachios are a fantastic food to incorporate into your diet because they are LOADED with nutrients for your body! Pistachios have a high amount of protein as well as high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and potassium. They are also busting at the seams with fiber and minerals to keep your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthy range. On top of all of that, they taste GREAT and even picky eaters love them!

FAQs & Tips

How to store Homemade Nut Butter?

Once you’ve processed up your nut butter, it’s time to store it. I recommend keeping your nut butter in an airtight container or small jar in the fridge. It will last up to about one month in the fridge, maybe longer, so make sure to label it with the date! You can also freeze nut butter and it will last up to 3 months in the freezer.

Recipe Variations

There are so many possibilities when it comes to dressing up this pistachio butter recipe a little bit to take it to the next level. Add in a dash of cinnamon for a bit more warmth, throw in a splash of vanilla if that’s your favorite, or you could even toss in some cocoa powder for a chocolate walnut butter variation. However you choose to enjoy this recipe, it’s bound to be absolutely delish!

WHat to do if my butter doesn’t thin out?

If the butter thickens after you add the honey and doesn’t thin out then your food processor is at a speed that is too high. Try lowering it! It WILL seize up when you add the honey and it might take awhile to thin out again but it WILL if you’re patient.

What to use Nut Butter On

There are endless ways to enjoy this tasty nut butter! I recommend baking some warm oat flour banana bread or even a batch of healthy oat bran muffins and spreading some nut butter generously on top! You could also drizzle it over eggless brownies or add a spoonful to your low carb keto oatmeal for an extra dose of YUM!

Ingredients

2 Cups Raw Pistachios (250g)
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Honey

Instructions

Heat your oven to 350 degrees and spread the pistachios on a baking sheet.
Cook until lightly browned and toasted smelling, about 7-10 minutes.
Place into a large food processor along with the salt and process until the seeds release their oils and become smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides often. This will take about 5-10 minutes!
Once smooth, stream in the honey and continue processing until the butter is as smooth as you want it.
DEVOUR!
