Why buy expensive nut butters when you can make them at home. Here's one super simple recipe for a delicious pecan butter! It does require one kitchen item that's going to make it easy - a food processor. Roasting the pecans in the oven gives it a nice nutty flavor that you don't want to skip out on. Serve this as a topping on our protein pancakes or just serve it up with an apple for a sweet, healthy snack!
