pecan butter

Super easy to make, loaded with healthy fats, low in sugar, and high in PIE flavor, this pecan butter is such a great alternative to the same old peanut or almond butter.

Pecan Pie Butter

(20 ounces 569 grams) pecan, (toasted)

(2 ½ oz/71 grams) Lakanto Maple Syrup

salt

cinnamon

Combine the pecans, Lakanto Maple Syrup, salt, and cinnamon in your food processor or blender.&nbsp;

Blend for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, scrape down the sides of the food processor or blender. If you like your nut butters&nbsp;smooths blend for another 2-3 minutes or until you have a smooth creamy butter.

Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 months.&nbsp;

Pecan butter is easy to make and tastes absolutely incredible! Feel free to to double or maybe even triple the amount of pecans in order to make a bigger batch (you may find it easier to toast the pecans in the oven at that point). Recipe yields 1 cup as written.

Homemade Pecan Butter

Sea salt,

cinnamon (optional)

Pour the pecans into a large skillet and toast, stirring often, over medium heat until fragrant (don&#8217;t let them burn!). This will take about 4 to 8 minutes.

Pour the toasted pecans into a food processor or high-speed blender and let them cool for several minutes. Then blend the pecans, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula often. The mixture will be crumbly at first, but will eventually blend into super-creamy goodness. Be careful not to let the mixture get too hot, which seems to cause oil separation. You might have to stop and let the mixture/machine cool down for a bit just to be safe. The amount of blending time required really depends on your machine—my old food processor took ten to fifteen minutes to turn the pecans into pecan butter, but my fancy Blendtec and Vitamix blenders can turn it into butter in a minute or two.

Add a pinch of sea salt and a dash of cinnamon (if using). Blend again, taste, and add more salt or cinnamon if needed.

Pour into a small jar, seal it with a lid, and store it in the refrigerator for good measure. This pecan butter will keep well, refrigerated, for up to 1 month or so—obviously, don&#8217;t eat it if you see or smell any signs that it has gone bad.

I've made this several times.  Your instructions are perfect! Including the note about using good quality nuts. Taste a piece of one of your nuts before proceeding with the recipe.  If your nuts are good,  following this recipe will yield delicious nut butter.

The best Damn thing since Velcro. Have an abundance of Pecans from small one inch up to 3.5 inch . Several kinds . I have not tried making this with each kind yet . Yet. I’ve never heard of it . 
I have to say it’s heaven sent.
I added A dash of honey  . 

Thank you for this . It’s Good just on a spoon. 

This pecan butter is INSANE. So delicious and decadent and simple to make, yum. :)

Your blog became one of my faves when I went plant-based years ago. You make it so easy because I know everything on your site is going to be good, which I can't say about many other food blogs. My husband even knows that when I say "it's from Cookie + Kate!" he's going to like it, lol. 

And I love this pecan butter so much I included it in a blog post about 5 favorite fall recipes I just put together.  

Forgive me for the amateur food photog attempts, I'm a newbie + I'm trying, lol. Thanks for the work you do, the consistently-awesome recipes...and for being such a plant-based inspiration for me!

Hi, I'm wondering if i can use the pecan butter to make cookies? I want to use a regular pecan butter cookies recipe and substitute the pecan butter for the butter and pecans but i don't know if that would work.

Hi! I used the TJ’s pecan pieces and it came out great. Give it a try!

I’ve made this twice now. It’s delicious! Used a  smidge of maple syrup and it turned out wonderfully. Thanks for posting!

What marvelous nut butter this was. It does remind me of the early days when I was still naive and suckling on nuts for some fast moolah. Magnificent nut butter if I say so myself. One may not be worthy of this nut butter as it will only show the faces of which we lack flowing through the compressed oils of the ground pecan nut. Took a star off cuz it wasn’t good.

Very good. I tossed a couple of dates in and it was delicious! My dad sat down with a jar and spoon and went to town!

Hello! I did it today. Can I put it in the freezer?  Thank you!!

The almond butter was very yummy, but this pecan butter!?!? Wowza!!! I am impressed. I put 2 tbs of maple syrup and 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. Tastes like candied pecans! Yum!

I found you because after my sweetie made me some flourless peanut butter cookies and wondered if I could make pecan butter cookies because he was shelling some pecans Ian had knocked out of our trees. I went looking to see if anyone had made pecan butter.  Thanks. Going to experiment making flourless pecan butter cookies now. (wheat sensitive)

THANK YOU! This is a GAME changer! So simple, so easy!  Pecan butter is the only nut butter I can eat and $10 for a 10 ounce jar is so expensive. (plus it only comes in plastic containers).  I will be making my own pecan butter from now on!

Thank you for this recipe!! Deliciously delicious and a much needed boost to my Keto lifestyle.

DEEEEEEELICIOUS Pecan Butter! Unfortunately, I experienced the same issue as some others, the oil separated from the pecans. After numerous failed attempts to cool it down and remix, it was not blending. I refused to throw it away and decided to add a quarter cup raw, unroasted cashews. Unroasted because the flavor is more neutral. My pecan butter is not perfect but that did help to bring the oil and the nuts back together. It's creamy, edible and it tastes good! Maybe this will help others rescue their Pecan Butter.

Thank you for the recipe. It turned out fantastic. I added a little ghee, coconut oil, a dash of cardamom and half teaspoon if pure maple syrup and WOW!!!

I made pecan butter using 2 cups Costco toasted pecans in my Vitamix.  These pecans had been in my refrigerator for about 6 months. The result was a somewhat dry crumbly concoction that became spreadable only when I put it on very warm toast just out of the toaster oven. I added a little grapeseed oil and two tsp of maple syrup trying to make is less dry and crumbly though not successful. Any suggestions?

Pecan butter is one of those nut butter that is not so widely spoken of, but is rich in nutrients! It is made from pecans which is a native American nut. Most importantly, it is easy to prepare and only requires two simple ingredients - yes, you guessed it… pecans and a bit of sea salt.
