Pecan Butter

Pecans are a keto dieters friend! They have low carbs and high fiber- just what we want.
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 3 heaping cups raw pecan halves

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 300°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Spread out pecans on the pan evenly, making sure not to overlap them. Use 2 pans if needed. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until you smell them start to brown.
  • Add to a food processor. Process for one minute. Scrape down the sides and process again for a few minutes more, or until creamy. 
  • Make sure you keep processing until it reaches a creamy consistency. It will be a bit more runny than other nut butters. Enjoy as you would peanut butter!
