👋❤ Hi Steve, Oh My Goodness I'm in Heaven with the pistachio butter YUM! I had no idea how easy it is to make. Thank You so much ✋ Grace, Peace, Prayers, Big HugS and Much LoVe ❣

[@dianejaquay]

I've made macadamia nut butter in my Vitamix, it's DELICIOUS!

[@SeriousKeto]

Definitely one of my favorites too. You'll be able to use your macadamia butter in place of Performance Nut Butter in a recipe that I'll be releasing next week.

Roasting the nuts adds a great depth of flavor. Great vid as usual 😊

[@SeriousKeto]

True. Especially good for almonds, I find.

[@danakarloz5845]

Serious Keto if you do almonds then be sure to get raw ones and soak them overnight and then roast them, as with all raw nuts

[@belizeguy]

So, Years ago, even before we started Keto, we stopped buying Peanut Butter because we had to buy it in Merida to get a big enough jar to last us, and High Fructose Corn Sugar plus the preservatives were always a problem for us. In my local Municipal Market, there is a stand that sells shelled peanuts for $5.00 USD for 2 Kilos of shelled peanuts, raw. We take them home, toast them fresh in the oven, cool and into the Cuisinart they go. Affordable, Delicious and sugar free! Had not considered Pecan Butter. Think I will try both. Thanks. Love the Shirt!!

[@654Bearcub]

Thank you so much Serious Keto, for this video

I'll be doing my version of Performance Nut Butter soon with a coconut, macadamia, cashew butter.

For great pecan butter- I found toasting the pecans first - then let let them sit 10 min or so to cool (a little) does 2 things: brings out natural sweetness of the nut so I dont have to add additional sweetener (and that's saying alot b/c I like sweet) AND I dont need to use much or any additional oil to make it into nut butter. I am using a vitamix, but I still had to troublrshoot to get the nut butter consistency.

[@SeriousKeto]

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely do that next time.

[@katieskorner8733]

Fabulous video!

[@purplekat9685]

[@CuttoothsRoom]

Perfect timing! I just bought a bag of pecans from costco the other day. Looking forward to seeing what you use the pecan butter for.

[@danakarloz5845]

Cuttooth's Room I looked at them and kept walking! I’m gonna go back

[@SeriousKeto]

You may also want to whip up a batch of my candied pecans this weekend, as they will be an ingredient in a chaffle video next Monday. 🙂

[@CuttoothsRoom]

Oh that's right. I remember watching that video when I first subscribed. I'll have to make that this weekend too.

[@danakarloz5845]

Oh MY! When you said it looks like something that is going into or coming out of a baby, I totally lost it! .... I didn't realize it was that easy to make nut butters. Thanks! .... and for the laugh!

[@eileenvogel4135]

Pretty clever Steve! LOVE pecans ~~ Thank you!

[@SeriousKeto]

FYI - this pecan butter is for some upcoming recipes. If I were making it to eat on crackers or some other delivery mechanism, I would toast the pecans in the oven, then add some sort of sweetener and a dash of cinnamon when making the nut butter.

[@eileenvogel4135]

@@SeriousKeto LOVE toasted pecans and the additions are very noteworthy! :-)

[@SeriousKeto]

If you haven't seen my candied pecans video, it might be worth checking out. They will actually be an ingredient in one of next week's videos.

[@BrittMFH]

Great idea, thanks! Looking forward to the recipes. 😄

[@SeriousKeto]

The pistachio pudding is pretty fantastic and goes great over keto pound cake (any guesses at what two of my recipes are going to be next week). 😄

[@ComboPoint]

When I do pecan butter, I roast them first. It brings out the natural oils. And let me tell you what, it taests like pecan pie, no salt, no sweetener, and it is so smooth and creamy.

[@SeriousKeto]

yep

[@pjst.pierre8444]

Thank you so much!!!

[@lindaleslie5634]

AWESOME! Thank you!

[@SeriousKeto]

I have some more nut butters coming in the next few weeks. If you haven't checked out my Nuttzo clone video, this one is really good: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6m7gIRvhMyIha8

[@bluedove7876]

I made a pecan/walnut/coconut/almond butter. A big batch, I thought, but it did not last! I sprouted the nuts overnight and dehydrated for over 24 hours at 125F. Then I toasted about 1/4 of the nuts to give it some toasted flavor AND most of the good nutrition of the sprouted, raw nuts. I do have a Blendtec, but not the Twister Jar, so I just scraped and added melted coconut oil until it all got moving in solution. Given I used unrefined coconut oil, it set up nicely in the fridge overnight and then reached a really good spreadable texture at room temperature thereafter. Going to try pecan/walnut/hazelnut/brazil nut/coconut butter next. ^_^ Do you still make nut butters and if so, what do you add for sweetness/flavoring? Also, I have a Wildside blender jar. Do you think it would work better for nut butter than the traditional square jar?

[@SeriousKeto]

Yes, I still do nut butters. I've only used the Twister Jar. I don't ever add anything for additional sweetness. Anyhow, the mixture you describe here sounds delicious!

[@kd8423]

Make your own Nutella.. . Ummm... Yes PLEASE-!!! Can't wait for that video-!!!! Love what you do, keep up the Great work. Oh, and that digital scale you use.. please share the link if you have one. Thanks :)

[@SeriousKeto]

I got it at Costco and they no longer carry it. Sorry...

[@JackiePatti]

I have a Vitamix, but it's too difficult to get stuff out; this looks easier. Pistachios are sadly one of the carbier nuts. :(

[@hortondlfn1994]

I love the idea of using MCT oil, but is it necessary to add oil at all? I've usually made mine by allowing the food processor to run until the nuts produce their own, and the final product tends to be less grainy. But, again, I do love the idea of using MCT!

[@SeriousKeto]

Generally, I use my Blendtec blender, so no oil is required in that -- and it produces a creamy (almost fluffy) nut butter. Not everyone has a $300+ dollar blender, though, so I wanted to show that it could still be done on a beat up, 20 year old food processor. That little bit of oil certainly helps with my food processor, but yours is likely newer and in better shape.

[@hortondlfn1994]

@@SeriousKeto Actually, mine is pretty old, too (although it is a fairly well-built unit), but I sincerely appreciate your consideration for those of us who don't have high-end kitchen appliances!

[@KCCAT5]

I'm a peanut butter Junkie. I ran out of peanut butter one month I had some peanuts in the cupboard and decided to put some up in my bullet it wasn't bad, but it was dry dry dry. I didn't have any nut oil to mix in

[@TheRealRealOK]

KCCAT5 Blend in coconut oil or mct.

[@kyliefan7]

I love it! I always make my own! Did pistachio butter but didn’t really like it! Maybe because it’s green?

[@avocadomegs4189]

I just tried my hand at my very first batch of pecan butter, Wowza it's amazingggg! I didn't even have to add oil since they were still slightly warm they blended beautifully!(roasted them @350 for like 8 minutes and let cool maybe 5 then straight into the processor and added a pinch of salt and dash of cinnamon, that's it!)😋 Hopefully it lasts a few days haha I came across a HUGE sale on diamond chopped hazlenuts a couple months back (.38/ 4oz. pack at Ollie's!) I bought like 10, used a few while attempting to recreate a Nutella mock and was severely disappointed (Sooo bitter and too thick😔) have you delved further into the possibility of attempting to make a keto version of Nutella yet? I'm All ears, I have a ton of hazlenuts waiting to be used on something delicious & the Nutella cravings are a beast at times.. I'd like to feed that monster 🤣

[@SeriousKeto]

I have a couple of bags of hazelnuts myself with the intent of getting around to Nutella some day. It's definitely on my "to do" list, but I can't promise when I'll get to it.

[@peterbeyer5755]

Could you use coco nut oil? I just discovered zucchini noodles, softened in butter and minced garlic and then mixed with some grated Parmesan cheese, very easy and cheap to do virtually no carbs. You could eat with meat or a fried egg.

[@SeriousKeto]

I would think that would be fine, though it might alter the taste a bit. I think coconut oil would be a better compliment to the pecans than to the pistachios.

[@k3of5ks]

Nutella please 🙏🏼. Great video. Thank you.

[@SeriousKeto]

If I can make a version I'm proud of. There are some "Nutella" recipes out there that are pretty disappointing.

[@stalean0301]

Serious Keto have you tried @fooddreamer aka All Day I Dream About Food Nutella? You can find the recipe on her website.

[@SeriousKeto]

I honestly try to avoid other people's recipes unless I'm totally stuck. I find I come up with more creative stuff that way. If I do wind up basing a recipe off of someone else's stuff, I always give credit though. Also, I can't stand websites that make me scroll through eight screens of BS and ads to get to a recipe (not sure if hers is like that).

[@stefball]

Do you prefer BochaSweet, Allulose, or both for nut butters?

[@SeriousKeto]

Bochasweet.

[@SkyAbdulrahman]

Can I use butter instead of nut oil ?

[@LisaCapron]

This sounds good... I've got a vitamix but I'm thinking it might actually be easier to use my food processor. I may have to play with both.

[@SeriousKeto]

Based on my experience with the Blendtec, I believe the Vitamix will be faster and will give you a smoother texture than using a food processor.

[@lindastokes2704]

How about Brazil Nut butter? Do you think a food processor would make it?

[@SeriousKeto]

I would think it would depend on the strength of the food processor.

[@dear_prudence]

This now makes me wonder - can you make almond butter from almond flour (since it's only ground up almonds anyway?)

[@SeriousKeto]

I had a similar thought the other day. If you try it out, let us know.

[@terryfogleson9117]

What about walnuts??

[@SeriousKeto]

terry fogleson I’m sure you could, I just find them to be too tannic for my taste in nut butter.

[@kurtsimmons1587]

What about a combination of two or three nuts?

[@SeriousKeto]

I keep them in the cupboard.

[@dangraves25]

@@SeriousKeto Great! I've been storing them in the fridge, but that keeps them a bit thicker. Any guess on shelf life? (Not that it would matter, we gobble them down so fast)

[@SeriousKeto]

@@dangraves25 Let's just say I've never had a batch go sideways on me. I may need to stir the oil back in, but I believe that the shelf stability will outlast the consumption rate. :)

[@cami3754]

Hi Steve, I have noticed that you used roasted and salted shelled pistachios. Would you use this pistachios butter as an ingredient in dessert recipes?

[@SeriousKeto]

Yes, I have.

[@cami3754]

Thank you! I will give it a try. I like very much pistachios ice cream!

[@scottinokc]

Steve, what would you recommend for adding salt in say 12 oz of walnut butter? Also, link to the Snake Plissken shirt?

[@SeriousKeto]

Salt to me is a personal taste thing. If it were me, I'd go start with 1/4 tsp of salt for 12 oz and then see if you want more. Just remember when seasoning, you can always add more but you can't take away. The shirt came from 6dollarshirts.com

[@darlas9250]

Are these two nut butters high in calories for the two tablespoons? You didn't mention the calories.

[@SeriousKeto]

If my math is correct, 2 TB of pistachio butter has 227 calories and 2 TB of pecan butter has 280 calories.

[@emoore4876]

Roast and salt those pecans with butter! I can eat then by the pound, so I’d have to steer clear of the nut butter.

[@madambutterfly5343]

For some reason I can no longer eat nuts since being Keto for 8 months. I was always a nut eater before Keto. Never had a problem. Now they really do a number on my bowels

[@coryreview]

Were the Pecans roasted or raw?...I have 3 pounds waiting for the holidays

[@SeriousKeto]

I didn't roast them because I wanted to see how they would behave in a couple of recipe ideas I have. If I were eating the pecan butter straight up, I would roast them and season with a little sweetener, salt, and cinnamon. At least that's how I would do it.

[@andreahorncastle1504]

Ok, so for the cooking challenged (but have the toys) how do you do this in a Vitamix?

[@SeriousKeto]

I would imagine the same way, though you may need to scrape down the edges more.

[@margiecastonguay517]

Hi can you make this with walnuts?

[@SeriousKeto]

Are you asking if I personally can or if anyone can? If the question is "can anyone?", the answer is "yes, the same way I did the pecans". Just be aware that walnuts, like pecans, have a high amount of tannin. You'll want to add something to balance that in terms of a sweetener and/or other seasoning.

[@erichb1]

can you show us how you do it with a blender please. I have tried it and it does not seem to work out. It always locks up. I have a vitamix.

[@SeriousKeto]

I have a Blendtec, so I'm not sure it would be a good comparison.

@@SeriousKeto just doing it in a blender would be a good addition. It is a different process. The blender brand is not as important I feel. Just a request. Thanks anyway. Great video!

[@TheLoneRayven]

Kick it up a notch with Alton Brown's wok-fried peanut butter method. Lots of flavor add-ins and toasty flavors to be had. Going to use this method to make a nut butter of a blend of unsalted nuts I found at Winco. 2 carbs for a 1/4 cup and it has almost every nut under the sun.
