Monkey Butter Recipe: A Tropical Spread You’ll Want on Everything

 

 

Cook the Mixture

  1. Add the bananas, pineapple (with juice), sugar, lemon juice, and coconut into a medium saucepan.

  2. Place over medium heat and stir until everything begins to combine.

  3. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring often to prevent sticking.

  4. Keep cooking until the mixture thickens — this usually takes 10–15 minutes.

  5. You’ll know it’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon.


Step 4: Blend or Keep Chunky

  • For a smooth, buttery spread, puree the mixture using an immersion blender.

  • For a chunkier, jam-like texture, leave it as is.

Both versions are delicious — it just depends on how you like your spreads.


Step 5: Cool and Store

Allow the Monkey Butter to cool completely.

  • Spoon it into clean jars.

  • Store in the refrigerator.

  • Use within 1–2 weeks.

Because this recipe contains fresh fruit, it isn’t shelf-stable for canning.


Step 6: Enjoy It on Everything

Monkey Butter is incredibly versatile. Try it on:

  • Toast or warm biscuits

  • Pancakes and waffles

  • Yogurt bowls

  • Ice cream

  • Crepes

  • Smoothie bowls

  • Or simply by the spoon!

Each bite delivers a tropical blend of banana sweetness and pineapple tang.
