Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz pecans
  • 3 dates 3-4 Tbsp of raisins work too!
  • 50 g collagen powder* About 10 heaping tablespoons
  • 4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp cloves
  • 0.5 tsp Himalayan sea salt

Method
 

  1. Roast pecans at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.  Stir frequently making sure they do not start to burn (the Foodi Ninja made this very easy).
  2. Let pecans cool slightly then place in food processor or Vita mix.  Add dates (or raisins) and turn on until a nut butter consistency forms.  Be patient, this may take several minutes!  Use a spatula to scrape down edges periodically.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and blend until desired consistency is achieved.

Notes

*You can omit the collagen powder if you don't have it on hand or don't care about supplementing with it for a delicious pecan pie nut butter recipe.
