Instructions for 3-Ingredient Pecan Pie Butter:
- Roast the Pecans (Optional): While this recipe uses raw pecans, roasting them for 10-12 minutes at 350°F can bring out an even richer flavor. If you prefer raw, skip this step.
- Blend the Pecans: Add the raw (or roasted) pecans to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This process can take about 5-8 minutes, depending on your machine.
- Add Sweetness and Spice: Once the pecans are fully blended into a smooth butter, add the date sugar and cinnamon. Blend again until everything is well incorporated.
- Season to Taste: If you’d like, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor. Blend once more.
- Store and Enjoy: Transfer your pecan pie nut butter to an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator. Enjoy it on toast, drizzled over oatmeal, or straight from the spoon!

Thank you Helen!!
I LOVE pecan butter, and I totally like giving homemade food gifts. I am terrible at anything crafty, but I love making goodies and giving those away. 🙂
My favorite nut butters would probably be cashew and pecan butter, and then I love peanut butter of course, but it’s not technically a nut butter. 😀
