If you are in the mood for a carnivore friendly treat that’s a bit out of the ordinary, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Today we’re going to make carnivore whipped brown butter bites.
This recipe takes the humble stick of butter and elevates it to new heights, creating a creamy, flavorful bite that’s sure to satisfy.
Now, you might be wondering how butter alone can be turned into something special. The secret lies in the browning process.
When you brown butter, you’re actually cooking out the water and milk solids, leaving behind a nutty, rich flavor that’s quite different from regular butter.
Then, by whipping the cooled browned butter, we create a light, airy texture that’s truly delightful.
These butter bites are not only tasty, but they’re also a great way to add variety to your carnivore diet.
Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make, requiring just one ingredient and a bit of patience. So, let’s dive in and learn how to make these delicious carnivore whipped brown butter bites.

👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this easy recipe:
Step 1
Place a pan over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Once melted, lower the temperature to medium-low and wait for the butter to start foaming on top.
Step 2
Continue stirring and scrape the sides often – this is very important.
Step 3
Wait for the butter to brown to your desired level, then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the butter from the pan into a very large glass cup. Scrape all the pieces from the pan – those are the tasty bits!
Step 5
Place the glass cup in the fridge for 15 minutes. Whip the butter using a hand mixer until creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
Then, fill silicone molds with the butter and place them in the fridge for an hour. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Whip It Well
When it comes time to whip the butter, don’t rush. Start your mixer on low speed to break up the butter, then gradually increase to medium-high.
Whip for 2-3 minutes, or until the butter is light and fluffy. You’ll see it change color slightly, becoming a paler shade.
Don’t overwhip though, as this can cause the butter to separate (unfortunately I learned that the hard way).
2. Using a Mold
Silicone molds are ideal because they’re flexible, so it easy to pop out the butter bites once they’re set.
If you don’t have silicone molds, you can use an ice cube tray or even small paper cups. Not ideal but still works.

FAQ
1. How do I know when the butter is properly browned?
Look for a golden-amber color, similar to maple syrup, and a nutty smell that’s almost like toasted hazelnuts.
The milk solids at the bottom should be dark brown (but not black). This usually takes about 5-7 minutes after the butter melts. If it smells burnt or looks very dark brown, you’ve gone too far.
2. What kind of pan works best?
A light-colored stainless steel or aluminum pan works best because you can easily see the butter changing color. Dark or non-stick pans make it harder to monitor the browning process.
