Pecan Walnut Butter

I picked up a copy of The Sprouted Kitchen cookbook this weekend. I'd been planning to grab it from Amazon soon, but I saw it on the shelf and just snatched it up. And I'm so glad I did! The book is full of great recipe ideas, some of them simple and a few that are more complex. As I flipped through, I immediately wanted to make a riff on her Almond Butter.

Pecan Walnut Butter

I used a mixture of walnuts and pecans and stirred in a bit of honey, some coconut oil to hold it all together and a few dashes of salt. I think you could play around with the combo, mixing in whatever you have around or especially like. I used a super strong raw honey here, so you might prefer more.

1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pecans
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 pinches salt

Place walnuts and pecans in food processor. Process until a sandy texture. Add in coconut oil and honey. Pulse until desired texture is reached. You may need more oil. Finish with salt and pulse a few more times. Place in airtight container, refrigerate until ready to use.
