Well good news here- this delicious nut butter is SO simple to make because it uses minimal ingredients that you may already have kicking around in your pantry. Not only is it easy to make, but it’s super FAST too, so if you’re in a pinch and want to make some nut butter, it’s not complicated at all! As if that wasn’t enough, it’s also downright delicious.

How to Make Pecan Butter

Making this delicious nut butter is, like I’ve mentioned, SUPER simple! Make sure you follow all the directions, as you don’t want to skip over toasting the pecans! It adds SO much flavor!

Toast

Set your oven to 350 and let it preheat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the pecans out on the pan. Let the nuts toast in your preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes, until they smell nutty and are golden brown.

Process

Transfer the toasted pecans to the food processer along with the salt and cinnamon and blend until smooth on the fastest setting. This should take 3-5 minutes. 

Store

Transfer to an air tight container and store at room temperature. Yup- that’s IT!

Recipe Variations

Although this tasty homemade nut butter is absolutely AMAZING all on it’s own, it’s sometimes fun to add in some extras to make it THAT much better! You could add a touch of warmth by adding a dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of nutmeg to the food processor, or consider pulsing in some chocolate chips for a rich and decadent pecan nut butter!

Spread Away 

Are you shocked? I was at first, too- such an easy recipe that results in something that tastes this BOMB can be hard to find. Go ahead and eat this right out of the jar by the spoonful, or check out these ideas to drizzle and spread it on:

High Protein Banana Bread Recipe and Low Carb Keto Banana Bread recipe would be extra YUM with a thick layer of this pecan butter spread over top!
Drizzle over Dairy Free Vegan Shortbread Cookies, Vegan Gluten Free Brownie Cookies with Walnuts, or Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chunks
Drizzle onto fresh fruit to spice it up a bit, or over Baked Bananas.
Simply spread it on some air fryer toast!

How to store Homemade Nut Butter

This nut butter will last up to a month when stored properly. I recommend using a rubber spatula to scoop it into a container, then seal it so that it is airtight. Place it in the fridge and chill until you’re ready to spread and drizzle it on ALL THE FOODS.
