Roasted Pecan Almond Butter

If you know me, you know I am obsessed with nut butters. It’s my go-to filling snack and I always have at least 5-6 different types in my cupboard. I love making my own nut butter because it can be more cost effective if you want some variety beyond the tried and true peanut and almond butters.

Also, it couldn’t be easier to make! Start by roasting your raw almond and pecans – this really helps bring out a deeper flavor in the nuts.

After you roast, let the nuts cool for 5-10 minutes so they are easier to handle. Then, it’s time to blend! I prefer using my Vitamix, but you can do this in a food processor too, it just takes a little longer.

If you prefer a chunkier nut butter, start by blending three out of the four cups of pecans. Once combined, slowly add the roasted almonds. After 5-10 minutes the nut butter should be fully combined in the Vitamix (longer in a food processor). Add the last cup of roasted pecans and pulse a few times to combine- this way you get a nice crunch of pecans in every spoonful!

I love to eat this roasted pecan almond butter:

.1. Straight from the jar

2. Drizzled over a smoothie bowl

3. On top of fancy paleo toast

4. While staring lovingly and then enjoying by the spoonful

Make your own nut butter. This two ingredient roasted pecan almond butter is quick and easy to make (and devour). The roasting brings out the nutty flavor of the pecans and almonds.

Ingredients

• 3 cups raw almonds
• 4 cups raw pecans

Instructions

• Roast your raw almonds and raw pecans at 350F for 18 minutes on a sheet tray. Let nuts cool for 5-10 minutes before handling.
• Blend 3 cups of roasted pecans in Vitamix until smooth. Once smooth, add almond 1 cup at a time until mixture is smooth. If you prefer a chunkier nut butter, you can then add the remaining 1 cup of pecans and pulse to combine.
• Transfer to a jar or container and store at room temperature.

Notes

To blend, you can also use a food processor, it will just take a little longer for the nut butter to come together.
