Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Yields: 4-5 servings
Ingredients
1-2 cups of pecan
1 tbsp maple syrup( optional)
Pinch of Cinnamon ( optional)
2 tbsp coconut oil ( optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 170 Celius and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Spread the 1-2 cups of raw pecans on your baking tray and toast the pecans for 4-6 minutes or until slightly warm. Be careful to not over roast the pecans. Once it’s toasted, allow it to cool.
Using a food processor or a high speed blender, place the roasted pecan with your ingredients on high for 5-20 minutes or until smooth & oily yet spread bale consistency. Allow the processor a break as it may overheat. Remember to scrap the sides as it will get stuck around the edges.
Pour the nut butter in the airtight jar and close tightly. Allow the nut butter to cool if it is warm. Then store it in the fridge or enjoy right away!
Notes
If you would like it sugar free, don’t add any sweetener!
If you have the issues of the nuts releasing the oils, add a bit of coconut oil to help it!
If store in airtight container, the nut butter can last in the fridge for 2-3 weeks!
