Ingredients
- 4 cups raw pecans
- 2 oz 72% dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Pour pecans onto a large baking sheet and evenly spread out. Toast the pecans in the oven for 6-8 minutes until slightly aromatic. Watch very carefully, you do not want to burn the pecans.
- Transfer toasted pecans to the bowl of a food processor. Process pecans until completely smooth, this should take less than 5 minutes.
- Add in dark chocolate and process again until the chocolate has melted and is well combined with the pecan butter.
- Next add in cocoa powder and sea salt and process again for 30 seconds. Pour into a 16 oz glass jar or container and seal. Enjoy! Makes 1 large 16-20 oz jar.
Notes
The pecan butter is best when pecans are toasted.
I usually make this with dark chocolate anywhere from 72%-85%.
This nut butter is wonderful when spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, fruit, tortillas, or used in recipes.
