Monkey Butter Recipe: A Tropical Spread You’ll Want on Everything
Cook the Mixture
-
Add the bananas, pineapple (with juice), sugar, lemon juice, and coconut into a medium saucepan.
-
Place over medium heat and stir until everything begins to combine.
-
Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring often to prevent sticking.
-
Keep cooking until the mixture thickens — this usually takes 10–15 minutes.
-
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.
