Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups shelled pecan halves
  • 1/2-3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3-5 drops stevia optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F
  2. Place your pecan halves on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes to ensure they brown evenly
  3. Remove nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely before making your nut butter (do not skip this step!)
  4. Place the nuts in your food processor (or high-speed blender)
  5. Allow the food processor to run on high continuously 5-7 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl every minute or so until a smooth, creamy nut butter forms
  6. Once you reach your desired consistency, add the salt, vanilla, and stevia if using. Start with the minimal amount of salt and stevia then adjust to your liking
  7. Enjoy immediately and store in a clean jar in the fridge for 2-3 weeks
