Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Pecan Butter Pie:

Instructions for 3-ingredient Pecan Butter Pie:

1. Baked Pecans (Optional): While this recipe uses raw pecans, roasting them for 10-12 minutes at 350°F can produce a richer flavor. If you prefer it raw, skip this step.
2. Mix the Pecans: Add raw (or roasted) pecans to a blender or food processor on high speed. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. This process can take about 5-8 minutes, depending on your machine.
3. Add sweet and spices: Once the pecans have been blended into smooth butter, add the palm sugar and cinnamon. Mix again until everything is well combined.
4. Season to Taste: If desired, add sea salt to enhance flavor. Mix again.
5. Save and enjoy: Transfer the pecan pie butter to an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy it on toast, drizzled over oatmeal, or straight from the spoon!

3. I love pecan butter, and I love giving the gift of homemade food. I’m terrible at anything crafty, but I love making things and giving them away. 🙂

   My favorite peanut butter is probably cashew and pecan butter, and then I love peanut butter, but it’s not technically peanut butter. 😀
