Maple Sea Salt Pistachio Butter

Homemade pistachio butter is easier to make than you think. Throw all of the ingredients for this maple sea salt pistachio butter into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

Creamy Pistachio Butter

The most refined and glorious nut in all the land is the pistachio. It is a nut with a distinct flavor and it makes great nut butter. This pistachio butter recipe is processed on high with a bit of maple syrup and salt and has incredible flavor.

Featured Ingredients

• Unsalted, roasted pistachio nuts- we prefer to use roasted pistachio nuts for our pistachio nut butter. It adds a delicious flavor. If you have raw pistachios, roast them before making nut butter.
• Maple syrup- maple syrup and pistachios complement each other. Maple syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness to salty nut butter.
• Salt- salt is great for both enhancing all of the ingredients used, but it’s also a ‘sea salt’ nut butter and flakey sea salt will be your best friend.
• Coconut oil- the coconut oil is used only if your nut butter needs to be thinned out.

How to Make Homemade Pistachio Butter

1. Place the pistachios, maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a high-powered food processor. Process on high for 8-10 minutes, stopping every few minutes to scrape the sides if needed.
2. If the pistachios have a hard time releasing their natural oil (getting the mixture to be drippy), add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
3. Once all of the ingredients have been processed into drippy nut butter, transfer the pistachio butter into a jar and add the remaining salt, if desired.
4. Serve over toast, with fruit, vegetables, or any way you’d like.
