I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve failed at making nut butter in my blender. When I’m with my husband in the U.S we have the Vitamix and it’s a total beast. It makes butter in about 3 minutes flat. Over here, I have a not-at-all powerful food processor and a Magimix blender. I tried making it in the food processor and the nuts just whirled around looking all sad.

Today I finally cracked making it in the Magimix! Here’s to the forthcoming 20lbs of almond butter I’m going to stuff into my face. I used pecans here because they are the CANDY of the nut world and I don’t see pecan butter in the shops at all. I also added some cashews to make it a little bit creamier. IT TASTES SO DAMN GOOD.

Then I spread it all over some gluten-free chia crackers and topped it with nectarine slices and hemp seeds. Bliss. You can obviously eat it however you like!

This recipe makes one small jar. If you feel like having more around just increase the pecans to 2 cups and the cashews to 1 cup.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup raw pecans

1 cup raw cashews

1/4-1/2 cup neutral tasting oil such as vegetable or sunflower

1 vanilla bean pod, scraped

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt
