We love homemade nut butter and our Low Carb Walnut Butter recipe is a simple and tasty spread, and high in fat.
Having control over your ingredients is an important part of the Ketogenic Diet.
There’s nothing worse than assuming that your jar of store-bought walnut butter is purely ground nuts. Most often nut butters on the shelf are full of additives, preservatives, and sugars.
Using a good food processor is essential when making your own walnut butter recipe.
Walnut butter can be made with cheaper food processors but you should take your time and pulse blend so as not to burn out the motor.
It is well worth spending a little extra cash on good quality appliances.
Ingredients for Walnut Butter:
- 14 ounces of Raw Walnuts
- 1 pinch of Salt
How To Make Walnut Butter
- Place walnuts and salt into your food processor and blend on medium to high speed until the walnuts breakdown. It can take 15 to 20 minutes of blending for the walnuts to release their oils and turn into a smooth butter. Ensure you stop your food processor if it begins to heat up, to avoid burning out the motor.
- Use your walnut butter to make our Snickerdoodle Cookies or store in an airtight container.
