Smooth, creamy homemade pecan butter flavored with cinnamon and maple syrup that tastes just like pecan pie. Perfect as a spread on toast or with fruit.

  • 4 cups pecan halves
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for extra smoothness)
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and slightly darkened.

  2. 2

    Let the toasted pecans cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a food processor.

  3. 3

    Process pecans for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the oils release and a paste begins to form.

  4. 4

    Add maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Continue processing for another 2 to 3 minutes until the butter reaches your desired smoothness.

  5. 5

    Pour the pecan butter into a clean jar with a sealed lid. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
