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.
- Pistachio butter is creamy and delicious on toast or used as a dip for fruit.
- If you can’t have peanut butter it is a great alternative.
- This nut butter is an easy sweet and salty snack.
- 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.

buy itHow to Make Homemade Pistachio Butter
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve over toast, with fruit, vegetables, or any way you’d like.
When you process the pistachios into a nut butter it should be creamy, smooth, and drippy. If the pistachio nut butter is dry and not processing, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil at a time until the nut butter is smooth.
