Hello!

I have exciting news in that I figured out how to make pecan butter! I think it's better (and definitely cheaper) than peanut butter. I put a cup of pecans in a food processor and ground them until they appeared creamy! You can add a dash of salt or sweetener if you like, but pecans are yummy on their own. I split it into 3 2tb servings. Just throwing it out there for any nut fanatics.

P.S. If you follow Keto, the macros are better than peanut butter or almonds.

    This sounds delicious, but it would not be cheaper than peanut butter here. Pecans are close to $10 lb in bulk.

    Question, do you toast the pecans?

    I read the title of this thread and it was like the heavens opened and I heard harps. Pecans are my favorite nuts. Will be doing this over the weekend. Also: Ding ding! Why have I never thought of this?

    Nope! They're perfect the way they are. I have candied them! 2 egg white whipped into peaks. Add sweetner and pumpkin pie spice to taste. Mix in pecans. Spread on cookie sheet. Bake at 250 for 1 hr mixing the nuts ever 15-20 min. Noms!
