Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until aromatic and lightly browned. Be careful not to let them burn.
Allow the toasted pecans to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Transfer the pecans to a high-powered food processor or blender.
Pulse the pecans a few times to break them down, then blend continuously until the mixture turns into a smooth butter. This may take 3-5 minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides of the container a few times.
Once the pecans have reached a creamy consistency, add the maple syrup, coconut oil, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Blend again for another minute until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the texture is smooth and spreadable.
Taste the pecan butter and adjust the sweetness or saltiness if desired, blending again as needed.
Transfer the maple pecan butter to a clean glass jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy it spread on toast, drizzled over pancakes, or by the spoonful!
