I made this tonight in my Vitamix .... I doubled the recipe just because I felt like trusting you ... OH MY GOOD GOOD GOOD NESS ..... I will never buy another nut butter fat bomb .. wowzer, so delicious!!!!! I actually only doubled the nuts and butters and totally forgot to double the salt, cinnamon and monkfruit (my choice of sweetener) .. Thank you so much for this one .. a huge money saver!!
I miscalculated the macros that I state in this video. I was toggling back and forth between grams, ounces and tablespoons and I screwed up a bit. Sorry. The updated macros are listed in both the description and on my website. I was asked what the cost per once on this nut butter recipe is. If you buy the coconut butter from Amazon and the nuts from Costco, it is $0.67/oz. The brand I had been using in packets is $2.64/oz -- so you can make this for close to 1/4th the cost. I'm sure if you made your own coconut butter, it would cost even less.
@@225kristent Since there are only 3 ingredients in this, that would dramatically change the flavor. It would be something like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-elYQBgZ_1y4.html
I've been making "GG's Treats" for 2 yrs now, with almond butter, coconut oil, and shredded coconut.....just enough to blend together, salt it, put it in a layer to refrigerate, and cut it in small squares. Makes a wonderful fat bomb that satisfies snack cravings. My 3 yr old thinks it's her best treat. Now I will make it with macadamia and cashews! THANKS, STEVE!
How'd it turn out?! I'd like to make your recipe with cashews and macadamia too. What do you mean put in a layer? Can you please share your recipe? Thank you!
Can’t wait to try this out- I have everything I need on hand :-) thank you for this one; I’ve been holding out on the PK and others bc of the cost. I know you don’t want to endorse the blender bc of the cost...but I have to say how much I LOVE my Blendtec! I bought my first at Costco around 6 years ago. I did a TON of research on blenders; it’s still the most expensive small appliance in my kitchen. Around a year ago it started having issues; I brought it back to Costco and got the new version with the twister jar right on the spot. I can’t recommend either the blender or Costco enough. The blender is pricey (300+) but has so many different uses. I used it today for muffins and apparently I’ve used it 267 times in a year. It does great for a soft serve-style icecream or sorbet with the twister jar, smoothies, and is great for batters. I can’t justify the cost of the prepackaged foods, but things like this that can be used for years are a great investment.
I'm going to try this in my food processor. I want a Blendtec, but it's not in the budget right now. The reason I want a Blendtec specifically (aside from how good they are) is because of their "Will it blend?" videos. If you haven't seen them, you really should. The guy is hilarious!
When I saw that guy shred a broom handle with a Blendtec, I was sold. One thing I really like about it is that the blade isn't sharp. It makes cleaning so much easier.
I have been on Keto for about 4 years. I have tried so many things and when I try to substitute a life long favorite for a Keto version, I have to convince myself that it is the right things to do and even though it is a poor substitute, it is what I eat now - and that’s that. HOWEVER... this sauce/pudding/goodness is outstanding! Thank you for sharing not only the nut butter but the ‘sauce’ as well. Awesome share.
Please update us with how it worked on the Ninja -- how long it took at what speed and if you have any advice you'd share with other Ninja owners. Thanks!
@@ketokarbs3671 The product he is using is coconut butter made by the Nutiva company and its called Coconut Manna. It's right there on the label my friend. Sometimes there are multiple products called the same thing. 😊
I love it too Michele. I buy it all the time and it's lovely. Coconut Manna rocks, and now I have to make this... It looks exquisite!Then figure out how to make my own coconut butter! That's exciting. Nom nom!
Game changer!!! Thanks for sharing. I did not have the cashews on hand, but i mixed macadamia nuts, the coconut manna and I had a barneys almond butter with cocoa. I mixed them all together with a packet of sweetener and fabulous. I didn't like the Barneys on its own, not sweet enough. I didn't know what to do with the coconut manna and I didn't like it on its own. So excited that I can make my own nut butters and use up things I already have in the house.
I'll probably do another video later with blanched skinless almonds that will be lower in carbs than this. Hearing your experience makes me enthusiastic about how it will turn out.
@@SeriousKeto i love nut butters especially on my Greek yogurt. But they were getting too costly. I would like to see whatever versions you could come up with.
I made this this morning and damn, it's delicious. The plan is definitely to make the B&K's sauce for my usual sunday chaffle breakfast with this, can't wait!
@@SeriousKeto I made the Boots & Kimo's sauce this weekend and it's delicious! I think it tastes better than the one at the restaurant. In comparison, yours leans towards the coconut milk base so it's a blend of coconut and macadamias...while the B&K sauce seems to pull towards vanilla and macadamia I don't know what exactly they use but to me it seems like a sweetened condensed milk base. It's delicious too but can end up being too cloyingly sweet. Another thing I wanted to add...the leftover egg whites from making the sauce recipe was used for making a couple souffle's with the sauce as a base. That was last night's dessert, it was very tasty. Thanks again for putting the time R&D into making this sauce!
Oh, man. I have been making nut buttah for years (even before keto making a Nutella clone). I skip the cashews since they are the worst fat/cab nut I've seen LOL. But, I do use mac's brazils as well. If I do want that cashew flavor, I turn to Baru nuts, which is a flavor profile between a cashew and a peanut bit are SUPERB in terms of fat, protein and LOW carb. Also, Pili nuts are great as well. This is a great video, man! I used one of those ridiculously huge Ninja's with the six blades and it makes about 72-80 oz of nut butter (I sell most of it!) in about 5 minutes. Rock & Roll!
I live 45 minutes from an Amazon distribution center. I can get most everything same day or next day for free. It's spoiled me into using Amazon for almost everything. 😄
OMG this sounds so amazingly good I found coconut almond butter and it was amazing that sounds even better! I can't wait. I'm too new to keto to do fancier recipes I am just barely starting out cooking Keto unfortunately I'm going to have to wait till I feel more confidence in my abilities to do things right in the keto way I am interested though on how these nutbutter's turn out. Wow that looks easy enough that I could do it! :~]
Steve, curious if you have tried the “f-bomb” nut butters. The macadamia chocolate one is off the charts. Would love to see your take on this. Not sure how they make it taste so good, but I think a guy with your skill in the kitchen might be able to figure it out. Please accept the challenge
Well, now, something I never knew I even wanted to try, and my mouth is watering already. I think I have all the ingredients on hand, so I'll be trying this morning in my Vitamix. I'll follow-up with how it worked. I'm out of fat bombs right now, so will probably do that with most of the recipe. Thanks, Steve!
@@SeriousKeto Follow-up: Vitamix worked flawlessly for this. Didn't have to scrape down the sides or anything - just slowly increased the speed to keep everything combining evenly. Ended up with 9 fat bombs. I probably could have gotten 10, but a few bites to try it out and then getting impatient for the last bit to come out of the blender, I settled for 9. And, yes, mindblowingly good! Looking forward to next week's recipe.
@@SeriousKeto My fat bomb mold holds two tablespoons (filling with water to measure) per opening. I filled the molds 3/4 full to almost full. I followed your recipe to the letter, using my digital scale for the measurements.
Amazing. I just made this, it was fantastic. Thanks so much!! Sorry about this, because I don't like when people change shared recipes completely, LoL, then say great recipe! 🙄, but FWIW,: I used pecans instead of cashews. (I had them on hand, better macros, plus I love them!) I didn't want to bother with cocoa butter, and I had some coconut shreds waiting to be used, so I used that instead, figuring that to make my own coconut butter I would have simply blended up some shredded coconut, right? And finally, I used a magic bullet. It took quite a while to complete. Probably a full minute! So anyway that's my experience! 😊 Thanks so much!!!!
Damn! I'm never buying nut butter again. I've been buying fatso salted caramel peanut butter. It's the only nut butter I liked. NOT ANYMORE! This is sooooo good it could be dangerous. 🤤 I used my Vitamix and unsweetened shredded coconut ans it was silky smooth.
I bought a Melangeur mainly for making my own keto chocolate, I heard it made the best silky smooth nut butter but I haven’t tried it for that yet, the only downside to it is that it takes hours to be done.
This seems very similar to Performance Nut Butter (PNB). I really like PNB but it’s pretty pricey. This seems like a terrific alternative but I don’t have a high powered blender. I have a Waring Pro. Will try it with that. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if it would work if you soaked the nuts overnight and then let them dry out on a tea towel. I know that when I am using nuts to make a sauce,I like to soak them and then rinse and drain them to clear away impurities. I only used unsealed nuts in a pinch.
Wow thank you for the recipe on how easy it is to make nut butter. Have you tried Fat Fit Go strawberry lime nut butter? I’m going to try adding freeze dried strawberries and true lime to see if I can replicate. If you make them, please post!!
Wow! This looks awesome! Thank you *so* much for sharing this special recipe with us! (I have a six-blade pro Ooster. Pretty sure it will do just fine!)
You ought to do some kind of colloration with Amy Berger. You'd fit right in with her "Keto without the Crazy" philosophy on the keto WOE. Well done man!!!
Thank you so much for this recipe. There is no way I would have ever paid that kind of money for the commercial product. I’m going have to try throwing in some pili nuts. =) Although now I feel hypocritical because pili nuts are also extremely expensive. 🤔
I'm not sure that will have enough power (or it just may take a while with a lot of scraping down the sides). Here's an interesting article on blender wattage (bet you never thought you'd hear that sentence): www.cnet.com/how-to/the-truth-about-horsepower-in-blenders-and-food-processors/
Please update us on how the Vitamix works out. In particular, I'll be curious if you need to scrape down the sides much with a spatula or use the plunger, and how long it takes.
I have made my own coconut butter in my Vitamix, so I think that I will try making this, but add coconut instead of the butter and blend it til I get the same consistency as what is shown in this video!
I'll have to try that on the next batch. If can save a step and save some money, by simultaneously making my nut butter and my coconut butter, that's a win!
Hi, I just purchased Lupin flour from Amazon to try making low carb/keto baking.. I wondered if you heard of this particular bean (high fiber) flour that can be used for low carb cooking? And hopefully you can demonstrate using it on RU-vid. Thanks!
Serious Keto : Great! I’ve heard from few RU-vidrs advising to mix half Lupin & half another low carb flour but never just Lupin flour.. well I’ll be looking forward to your video on Lupin flour! Thanks.
It does not require refrigeration. There's no manufacturer's date on the jar, but I got mine in February of 2019 and the "best by..." date is May of 2020.
Coconut butter is just blended coconut. Why not just add 2 ounces of coconut flakes and blend a bit longer? That would decrease the cost even more. Just a thought.
Did you deal with low blood sugar when starting keto? That is my pitfall every time, I can’t seem to stick with it as soon as I start getting shaky and have to eat a carb.
Can you sub out the cashews? Can’t do pecans, maybe walnuts? Cashews are not really high on the preferred list of nuts for keto, since it can cause inflammation in some people.
I haven't tried it, but see no reason why you couldn't. My goal was to emulate the nut butters from two big players in the keto world, and they both use cashews (for better or worse). Can you do almonds? If so, I would think if you blanched them and removed the skins, you'd get a very similar texture to this nut butter.
This nut butter works great in my poundcake recipe (use 2TB of it instead of a packet of the prepackaged nut butter): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zN-XycSBaYA.html
I saw an article online that said you could make your own nut flour like almond flour. I was wondering what would keep it from turning into almond butter instead of almond flour. Do you know?
I think it would be tricky. First, you'd want blanched, skinless almonds. Second, I'd be afraid of over-shooting the flour stage and getting something like nut butter unless I had a grain mill. Incidentally, I took your idea one step further and tried to make almond butter by blending almond flour. It created a nut butter, but it tasted pretty lame. I'm guess because almond flour isn't made from dry roasted almonds.
@@SeriousKeto I think they did say to use a grain mill, but I wondered if it would work anyway. It seems like there would be too much oil to make a flour.
The easiest way to describe it is the same as the difference between peanut butter and peanut oil. Coconut butter is raw coconut that has been processed or blended into a "sauce". Coconut oil is the oil extracted from coconut. I haven't made my own coconut butter yet, but according to another viewer, it's as simple as throwing coconut flakes in your blender and blending them into a liquid state.
It was the top end Blendtec when I bought it about 7 years ago (I don't know the specific model number). It's not a cheap blender, but it's performed like a rockstar for me.
I bought a refurbished Blentec on their website 5 years ago and it's still going strong. Plus they come with a nice warranty and are much less expensive than the new ones.
They are fine in moderation. Carb Manager lists them as an "A", but the carbs can add up if you really go to town on them. I will be making another version of this soon with some lower carb nuts and see if I still get the great flavor.
Hi! Thanks for all you do. I don't actually do keto but have to watch my grains because of an auto-immune thing. I get so many ideas from you. This butter is so-o-o sinful!!!!! I love it! So nice to have little pleasures like this. Might even consider offering it up on a buffet with sliced apples for company. Right now I'm feeling selfish so I'll hoard this batch for just me!
I would go with the one that uses the Quest cinnamon toast crunch powder. But if you wait until next week, I'll have a recipe that turns this into a full-fledged breakfast sauce.
Shirley Zona cacao butter should work, but it will be a lot firmer from the fridge. It might make it great for treats that would keep shape at room temp. It’s a substitution I often use for bringing things to work
Somewhat off-topic: my scale (a Zerla) shuts off while I'm right in the middle of adding ingredients - for example, I want to add 5 ounces of cheese, and I'm cutting the cheese into my bowl a small chunk at a time, and I reach, say, 3.2 oz, and the scale shuts off. Completely. Frustrating. Do any of you folks use a scale that doesn't shut itself off? I've checked out several on Amazon, and they all seem to have this annoying feature. Thank you!
I've been told that you just put unsweetened coconut flakes in a blender and blend them until you have coconut butter. I haven't tried it yet, though...
Maybe. I'm not sure you'll get the same level of smoothness. If using a standard sized food processor, I'd AT LEAST double the recipe -- otherwise you'll just be bouncing the nuts around.
Sounds yummy! I used to be addicted to Coconut Manna, but soon realized I could make my own way cheaper - just throw some unsweetened coconut in the Blendtec Twister Jar :-)
@@SeriousKeto Nope! Coconut Manna's ingredient list consists of just one item: organic coconut puree. You can get a huge bag of unsweetened shredded coconut at Costco, so it's super economical to make.
The next time I make it, I might blanch some almonds to remove the skins and use that in place of the cashews. My goal in this recipe was to duplicate the flavor of the nut butters by two big players in the keto world (both of whom use cashews in their nut butter).
