Hey guys! Today I’m sharing a very quick and easy recipe for how to make healthy balsamic mushrooms! These mushrooms are umami flavoured, creamy and lightly tangy. This recipe is vegan and keto. It makes for a great side dish, or go gourmet by topping on toast and comforting dishes like baked potatoes and risotto.

I love sautéing mushrooms because it’s quick, easy, and so flavourful. Certainly, this recipe is as simple as they come. You need only 5 ingredients for these ultra lush and full-bodied healthy balsamic mushrooms.

Now, I’ve got a few tricks to perfecting this recipe (taste and texture), which I will share below. Plus, read more for my secret ingredient for getting your mushrooms ultra creamy.

So, let’s get into how to make these healthy balsamic mushrooms.

The ingredients:

As I mentioned, the ingredients for this recipe are simple and straight forward. You will need:

  • cremini mushrooms
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • almond butter
  • balsamic vinegar
  • thyme

As you can see, there is nothing complicated or unique about these ingredients. The only ingredient that’s a little unique is the almond butter. But this is my secret ingredient for rich and creamy mushrooms. More on that to come, under my Tips section.

Tips for this Healthy Balsamic Mushroom recipe

Certainly, making these healthy balsamic mushrooms is easy peasy. Simply sauté the mushrooms in a skillet until golden brown. It should take no longer than 20 minutes.

However, there are a few tips to getting perfect texture and taste.

So, let’s start with texture: Firstly, I like to start by sautéing the mushrooms on medium-low heat. This will stop them from burning, and allow the natural waters to release. In fact, mushrooms hold high water content.

Then, after about 10 minutes, I add my seasoning (almond butter, balsamic, and thyme) and turn the pan up to high temperature. Next, I sauté and stir often to evaporate the liquid for a thick and rich sauce, and golden brown mushrooms.

Secondly, let’s talk taste: My trick to getting creamy mushrooms is a bit of nut butter. I really like to use almond butter for these balsamic mushrooms, and tahini is also delicious. A little almond butter makes for a deliciously creamy mushroom recipe. Plus, it cuts the acidity of balsamic for a more tangy taste. Certainly, it’s a gorgeous pairing that I highly recommend trying.

    Made this tonight and served it on top of angel hair pasta with light pesto sauce. Slow cooking the mushrooms was perfect. It was hearty and simple. Will make this again.
