Creamy Pecan Butter

2/7/2015 0 Comments
 
Pecan butter is a new favorite nut butter in our home. It blends up incredibly nicely as it has a high content of healthy fats that once released create a luxurious buttery spread. The flavor is so good it's hard not to test it along the way. With a high speed blender or food processor homemade pecan butter can be yours! Add it to sandwiches, smoothies or have a spoonful for a nice healthy treat full of protein and fiber!

Creamy Pecan Butter:
  • 3 cups Pecans (*See tip)

Optional Flavor Boosters:
  • 2 tbsp Agave (Or: Maple Syrup / Honey for Vegetarians)
  • 1 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil or Coconut Butter (Olive Oil, Avocado Oil...)
  • Pinch Salt

 Directions:
  1. Place nuts and optional flavor boosters in your blender. Blend on low speed (speed 1 on blendtec) for one cycle, or until it sounds like it is done. Mine took about 25 seconds.
  2. Remove the lid, with a spatula, scrape the nuts towards the center of the jar and speed up to level 5 on a Blendtec or high. A butter should begin to form, scrape to the center.
  3. Repeat, with patience and love, until a rich creamy spread or desired consistency is reached. It takes me about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips:
  • Use a food processor. Sometimes I use my blender first, then switch to the food processor. 
  • I tried a couple different settings such as Ice Crush and Pulse to mix it up, play around and see what works best for you and your blender.
  • Use Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Peanuts, Hazelnuts, Mixed Nuts or the nut of your hearts desire.
  • Add additional coconut butter or oil of choice to assist. 
  • Go oil free and use only nuts, the oils will come out as it is whipped and as it sits out overnight / over time. 
  • Add chocolate, vanilla, or any flavors that you'd like!
