Brown butter bites add a rich, nutty flavor with a caramel-like sweetness to any dish.

But, eating butter alone, especially in the form of brown butter bites, can be a great option if you’re following a high-fat, low-carb diet like keto or carnivore, where fats are an essential energy source.

Butter is rich in healthy fats that support brain function, provide sustained energy, and help keep you full for longer. Brown butter also adds an incredible depth of flavor, that creates a nutty, almost caramel-like taste.

Plus, fats can help balance blood sugar and support a healthy metabolism!

Their the perfect carnivore desserts, melting in mouth like toffee, with delicious hints of hazelnut in every bite.

I’m a total chocolate fanatic, so it took some convincing to try these butter bites as a substitute for my sweet tooth.

Now, in almost every recipe, I refer back to this browned butter bites trick because it takes every dish to the next level, just like for my gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

The secret ingredient really is in browning your butter!

Is grass fed butter healthy?

Grassfed butter is often preferred because itโ€™s richer in nutrients compared to regular butter. It contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have anti-inflammatory and heart health benefits.

Why Should You Try Brown Butter?

Browning butter not only gives butter a lovely toasty, nutty flavor but by cooking out the water and caramelizing the milk solids you can extend the life of the butter! 

What does browned butter look like?

Browned butter has a golden to deep amber color, with tiny dark brown specks at the bottom. These specks are the milk solids that have caramelized during the cooking process.

The butter takes on a glossy, rich appearance, and youโ€™ll notice a slight foaming at the top as it cooks. The final product has a nutty, toasty smell, signaling it’s ready to be used in your recipe.

Itโ€™s important to watch closely while cooking, as it can quickly go from browned to burnt.
