Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Shelled pistachios
- 50 grams Unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shelled pistachios evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes until they are warm to the touch.
Transfer the warm pistachios to a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 5-7 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Add in the coconut oil, unflavored whey protein powder, honey, and salt. Blend again for another 2-3 minutes or until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is smooth.
Taste the pistachio butter and adjust the sweetness or salt to your preference. If you prefer a sweeter butter, add more honey, or if you like it saltier, add a small pinch more salt.
Transfer the pistachio butter to an airtight container or jar. For the best consistency, let it cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
This high protein pistachio butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using each time.
