Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups raw pecans
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Evenly spread pecans on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast pecans in oven for 7-9 minutes, being careful not to burn nuts. Mine were perfectly toasted at 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow nuts to cool for a few minutes.
- Add pecans to food processor and process for 5-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. At this point the pecan should start to clump together. Continue to process until you reach the desired consistency.
- Add in maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and process again until smooth. If the nut butter starts to thicken up too much, you can add 1-3 teaspoon of coconut oil and process again until smooth.
- Transfer to mason jar or container and store at room temperature or in fridge. If you store at room temp, simply give the pecan butter a stir before you use it.
