Pecan Almond Butter

All you need is almonds, pecans a pinch of sea salt and a good quality food processor or mixer. Thats it! and you won’t believe how amazing it tastes!

I love homemade nut butter, it’s so easy to make and super versatile. This recipe is made without any mixed in flavors, just a little sea salt. It works with almost anything, I use it in cooking, desserts and off corse, on toast!

Ingredients

• Pecans, natural and unsalted
• Almonds, natural and unsalted
• Sea salt, just a pinch to bring out the flavours in the roasted nuts.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

1. Roast the nuts until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring half way. Be carful not to burn them!
2. Let the roasted almonds and pecans cool down a little for about 10 minutes and ten transfer to a high speed food processor.
3. Blend until smooth and scraping down the sides as needed. This will take up to 15 minutes depending on how powerful your food processor is, and how smooth you like your nut butter. 
4. When the nut butter has reached the consistency you like, add a little sea salt and transfer to an airtight container, store in the fridge.
