Why do we love macadamia? Not only because we love nuts in general! Macadamia is full of high-quality fats, low in polyunsaturated fats, and low in carbs. Besides, its flavor is unbeatable.
If you haven't tried making homemade macadamia nut butter before, I courage you to do it now.
It's the most simple butter to make, simply because you don't need to add anything to it (except maybe a pinch of salt), not even a teaspoon of coconut oil, in order to make it runny very quickly.
But, don't say I didn't warn you: Having this butter at home in the fridge is a bit dangerous. It sometimes happens that a person just wants to indulge in it, endlessly. So, do watch out!
Especially, if you decide to try out my Jaffa Chocolate Butter or Vanilla Butter keto recipes! If you do, let me know, which you like best!

Are you using raw nuts or the toasted and salted nuts? Thanks!
I usually use raw macadamia.
Thank you for this recipe! I am new to Keto & looking for a good nut butter (I've been a PB junkie all my life, but need to change my habits;) I'm in the process of looking for a store and/or online to purchase Macadamia nuts. Do you have any suggestions? I will let you know how my butter came out. Thanks again!
Hey, Ayah. I like making macadamia butter as it takes no additional oils to make it runny and creamy. It is also kind of sweet by itself, so it is just too delicious. 😉 I am based in Europe so can't give out many suggestions. This looks like a legit option but the price is not low. I've noticed though, that low-price macadamia never pays off taste and texture-wise.
Good luck with your keto journey!
