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.
- 3 cups raw almonds
- 4 cups raw pecans
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.
To blend, you can also use a food processor, it will just take a little longer for the nut butter to come together.
