Pecan Pie Nut Butter with Collagen
This nut butter tastes decadent but is packed with healthy ingredients, has no added sugar, and is Whole30 compliant. Each serving has 5 grams of collagen and an extra 4 grams of protein. Try it on sweet potato toast for an indulgent breakfast, snack, or pre-workout fuel!
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
Instructions
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
