Hello! I would like to start by thanking all of my readers and Instagram followers! This was one of the most requested recipes over this past week and I can't wait to share it with you all! This is a rich pistachio and almond butter/paste which also has no added refined sugar! Rather, in this recipe, we make use of some honey for that natural sweetness! Let's jump right in!
Equipment required:
Food processor
Ingredients:
- 170g of raw pistachios (unsalted) I got mine from one of my local health-shops from the counter to avoid extra charges! It is also environmentally friendly, since you can take your own container and just fill it up!
- 100g of ground almonds
- 4 tablespoons of honey
- 3 teaspoons of vanilla powder (vanilla essence can work just fine also)
- 1 tablespoon of neutral flavored oil (coconut oil would work wonders also)
- 120ml of lactose-free milk (to achieve the desired consistency)
Method:
- First start by preheating your oven to 165 degrees Celsius. On a baking sheet, spread the raw pistachios and roast for 10 minutes (depending on your oven, this may take more or less time, so pay extra caution!)
- Add the roasted pistachios to the ground almonds in the food processor. Add the vanilla powder, honey and the oil. At this point start the food processor to start off the grinding process. You may need to be patient during this process, since some hand processors cannot operate for more than 2 minutes! Make sure you do this in pulses.
- Add the milk and further grind together until the desired consistency is achieved.
- More milk may be added until a butter-like paste forms.
- Last but not least! Taste and savour the moment!
You may opt to try this delicious paste with coffee, as in my picture or else it goes great on pancakes, toast and all kinds of bakes! If you try it out, be sure to tag me @seasonandsavour!
